This public art piece titled Modern Communication, by artist Terry Allen was installed in downtown Kansas Citty, MO in 1995. It has always been controversial but less so since it has been relocated (due to construction) to less prominent locations. It has always been a favorite of mine.

How does a wyt woman honor Juneteenth? I am reading this book. I'm an OG feminist from the 60s - 70s. Recently I realized my ignorance when I started to look for the Black female voice in the movement. I discovered it was there all along from the 19th century but it had been surpressed by wyt women.

I protested and marched for nearly the same issues in the 60s and 70s but we did not continue our vigilance and engagement. So here we are doing it all over again in our golden years. I hope lessons are being learned today.

I am thinking about refugee/immigrant mothers. Those that have risked everything to come to this country for security and a future for their children. I honor them, their struggles and their sacrifices .

My fave memory. In zone of totality, new camera, captured the chromosphere. But best of all, sitting in the driveway with my 93 year old dad sharing the experience.

I'm counting this as my Friendly Friday post since my friend Nina let me turn her lovely photo of this morning's dawn into a meme to remind us to be kind to others and ourselves every day.

Friendly Friday. This is Emil & his dog Susie stopping to visit my parents & their dog Lyric. When my folks here in 95 my dad and Emil were 2 of 6 WW2 veterans here. When this was taken in 2013 they were the last 2. Now there are none. As Veterans Day approaches these 2 are among those I honor.

Let's start something new. I'm going to call it Friendly Friday, photos about friends and friendship. I met this group on the Plaza several years ago while working on a photo project. They asked if I would take their picture.
