Peace

at the Jacob Lawrence exhibit, The American Struggle, this vibrant jewel simply entitled Peace stood out to me....

the series demands the viewer's attention to both paintings and accompanying text and given social distancing protocols, requires time and patience to view but is well worth taking in, slowly walking around the room, and then perhaps again, quietly, deliberately, in rhythm with the bold tempera brushstrokes applied by Lawrence to his 30 small masterpieces that lead us through critical moments in our nation's early history as interpreted through the eye of the confident, caring artist...

there is so much detail to discover from every angle and i loved that just as my friend Betsy and i met up last week to wander into the park to find it together, so too did two women from another generation stroll by to look, learn and appreciate women's history and the contributions of the three great ladies cast in bronze.

just days ago on the Jewish New Year, we lost the iconic Ruth Bader Ginsburg, only the second woman ever to serve as a Justice of the Supreme Court and a fierce advocate for gender equality, civil and human rights.

it was announced yesterday by Mayor Cuomo that a statue in her honor will be erected in her native Brooklyn.

"fight for the things you care about. but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." said RBG among many other "notorious" truths.

we must fight harder than ever now!
