A 1st Grader drew a picture of me. Notice the physique and the crown. I think she captured my essence.

Piecing together history during a dig at former slave quarters in Blandair Park (Howard Cty. MD). It was once a 300 acre plantation. I'm looking forward to returning.

I was spiritually fatigued so I went to Benjamin Banneker Park in Catonsville to look for signs of spring. Benjamin Banneker lived out his amazing life during uniquely difficult times.

Black History and Art: This is my ugly jug. It was made by artist, Jim McDowell (aka the Black Potter). This kind of face jug was made by Black potters to repel evil and often used as grave markers. If you are familiar with nkisi statues from Congo you will see an immediate connection.
