A painting I created over the Dr. MLK, Jr. weekend, only hours before the historical Inauguration of 2009.
I was contacted by an AmeriCorp representative to be a part of the annual Dr. MLK tribute and celebration which was hosted by Durham Memorial Church this year.
I need to thank Patrick for the opportunity, and Chris Fuqua and Gary Andrews for suggesting Nina Simone to get me through the “all nighter.”
Nina Simone clip I was listening too while painting.
