Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King
Zoë Hopkins
Jan 12, 2023 1:29PM ( an excerpt )
On a winter afternoon in 1952, a love story began when Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King took a stroll in Boston Common. More than a decade after this fateful first date, Dr. King returned to the Common to address the over 22,000 people who marched with him from Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood. This January 13th, some 70 years after Martin and Coretta’s stroll, the park will be christened with a monument attesting to the love this couple shared with each other—and with the world itself.

Titled The Embrace, the 20-foot-tall sculpture was designed by artist Hank Willis Thomas in collaboration with MASS Design Group, and stands in the new 1965 Freedom Rally Memorial Plaza.

Let us remember Dr. King and the ongoing struggle for equality for each and every person ! Prof. Cittadino

It was our hope that our civilization had evolved beyond the cruelty of war and the suffering it inflicts upon innocent individuals, especially children. Picasso painted "Guernica" after the Nazi's vicious bombing of the small Spanish town on market day, at 16:30 , Monday, 26 April 1937. A huge painting - about 11' tall by 22' wide, it is painted in black and white. An icon of world art, it takes on new meaning with recent events in Ukraine!

‘…if I felt no love for nature and my work, then I would be unhappy’.

Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, The Hague, 26 July 1882 Nature was hugely important to Vincent. It endlessly inspired and comforted him.

Today, on World Earth Day, let us celebrate the beauty of nature.
