Musical Interlude: I first heard Joan Baez singing this, which was pretty damned white of me, I have to admit. I did a little digging and found other less-pale versions that were more impactful. I remember singing this to myself at my first gay rights march...wow...memories coming back!
Still, this is a stirring rendition, and this is a good day to share it.
"Oh Freedom," performed by the Golden Gospel Singers.

"Girl in a Green Cap," Laura Wheeler Waring, 1930.
Waring (1887-1948) was THE great portraitist of the Harlem Renaissance, painting many of the notable Black people of the era.
Born in Hartford, CT, the daughter of a minister, her family was educated and cultured, and her ancestors had been part of the Underground Railroad. She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, graduating in 1914. She traveled briefly in Europe, returning home when WWI started, but returned in the 20s, where she honed her style and exhibited in Paris galleries.
Returning to the US in 1927, she was commissioned to do portraits of figures of the Harlem Renaissance; this project, along with her work teaching at Cheyney University, an HBCU outside Philadelphia, was to consume the rest of her life. Her work is now featured in some of the country's top museums and galleries.
The subject of this portrait is unknown, but her calm confidence and self-assurance, and that knockout outfit, are beyond question.
Happy Portrait Monday!
From the Howard University Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.

I wrote this back in 2020 https://bikestylelife.com/2020/01/20/street-of-dreams-can-we-live-the-martin-luther-king-jr-way/. If your town has a street named after Dr. King, how well does it reflect the values he stood for? If they don't have one and they're going to propose a renaming, which street would do the most to honor his spirit?

One of Martin Luther King Jr.'s greatest speeches but less well known because of its more controversial message.

Today, I attended service at a Unitarian Universalist congregation, and my soul is energized. There are a lot of people that want to make this world a better place. If you are feeling alone out there in a world of hate, there are those that side with love.
Today was especially powerful as a woman of color that marched with MLK Jr. read to the multi-colored children of the congregation a book of his speech. She choked up reading his words as my own tears ran freely.
"I have a dream that one day ... little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."
#MLK, your dream is still alive and we that come after you will fight to make that reality for more and more people of this world.

A prayer I wrote yesterday for Martin Luther King, Jr. for the Prayers of the People at St. James Cathedral in #Chicago.
Our community is a bit unique in that at our 11am service, individual parishioners write the prayers of the people. Each week it is different depending on the intercessor but still reflects the structure within the Book of Common Prayer.

#MartinLutherKing convinced #NichelleNichols to stay on Star Trek. But did you know Nichelle played an important role helping to drive recruitment for #NASA in the years after playing #Uhura in #StarTrek?
She recruited #Sally Ride, #ColonelBluford & the first black female astronaut, #MaeJemison.
Watch this fun Drunk History video narrated by Ashley Nicole Black with Raven-Symoné as Nichols.
