A Civil Rights Recollection |
As we honor Martin Luther King's legacy, we are reflecting on the impact he had on our community. Through collecting oral histories, we have heard both wisdom and stories from our Greatriarchs. Today, we are sharing Greatriarch Diane Ivey's (Miss Diane, to us) first-person account of what it was like to be present at the March on Washington, August 28, 1963, where Martin Luther King, Jr delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. The march was organized to advocate for civil and economic rights for African Americans and was a turning point in the movement, playing a key role in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Let us continue to learn from the past and work towards a better future for all. |

For the month of January the Gallery Annex is featuring Lisa VanMeter’s prints. Vanmeter uses the reduction block printing technique. This process uses a single block for a series of prints where material is removed between each inking. This separates it from other printing techniques, which use many different blocks to produce a similar effect. Once the first layer has been printed, the same block is carved again; then, a new color is printed over the first print. Learn more on our blog. The show can be viewed anytime during the months of January in the Gallery Annex during Gallery Hours: Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. The works can also be viewed and purchased on our online gallery through February. |
