1. I like THAT!

2. MLK

What an amazing individual.

This image captures perfectly King’s use of non-violent protest to change perceptions. A brilliant appeal to the “better angels” of people’s character.

Great painting!

5. "My Brother's Keeper" - print by artist Watson Mere

One of the best political works of art I've seen in a while and it applies to the entire Republican party. Note that some of the Twitter posts have his name incorrectly shown as Walter.

Good article with artist interview notes here on PRI:

"I wanted to do something — not over-the-top — that would show a better way, how to be a better leader."

The picture is a gentle rebuke to Trump, says Mere.

"And [King is] just wishing and hoping that Trump would think with a more equality-type of mind rather than the negative stuff that he has been putting out into the universe."

Thanks for the OP, kpete.............
