The paint is wet, and back-to-school is making me sweat!

The privilege to paint these two seniors amazing parking spots was an honor! A MLK/Speech & Debate tribute and a reminder that you’re almost there with Tiana.

Praying that all is well as the school year is upon us!

Happy Birthday to Emmett Till.

Art Piece created by Gary Roberts:
“Aspiration of Emmett Till!”

People have written over the years that he wanted to be a Doctor. Truth is that he wanted to be a motorcycle cop in Chicago. He had a dog named Mikey. He is standing in front of the apartment building where he lived with his mother before taking his last train ride to Money, Mississippi. They are currently renovating it to become a Museum. It should be completed in 2025. The museum will be located at 6247 S St. Lawrence Avenue in West Woodlawn. The home’s first level will become a museum with artifacts from Till’s life. The second floor will re-create the apartment where Till grew up. Till, the Black Chicago youth whose lynching in 1955 at age 14 in Mississippi helped launch the Civil Rights Movement.

Artwork by Charcoal Art By G: “The Sons of Thunder”

Martin Luther King Jr. and his brother, A.D. King, were both significant figures in the American civil rights movement of the 20th century. Martin Luther King Jr., as the leader of the movement, became a prominent advocate for racial equality, known for his powerful oratory and commitment to nonviolent resistance. His speeches, including the famous "I Have a Dream" speech, galvanized support for desegregation and voting rights.

A.D. King, younger brother to Martin, also played a pivotal role in the civil rights struggle. He was a pastor and a leader within the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), a key organization in the movement. A.D. King actively participated in protests and campaigns alongside his brother, promoting social justice and equality.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington DC, dedicated in 2011, commemorates Martin Luther King Jr.'s enduring legacy. The memorial features a striking sculpture of Martin Luther King Jr., carved into the "Stone of Hope," emerging from the "Mountain of Despair." The “Stone of Hope” bigger than the “Mountain of Despair” it’s carved from so that it may never fit back into that mountain. This design symbolizes his journey and struggle for justice. The memorial is located on the National Mall, a symbolic center of American democracy, underscoring Martin Luther King Jr.'s pivotal role in shaping the nation's conscience and advancing civil rights. It serves as a timeless reminder of his vision and continues to inspire generations to strive for equality and social justice.

I, Ja’Brandon, am grateful to our almighty God for the opportunity to connect the Gary Roberts artwork to the amazing sculptures and memorials in our nation’s great capitol, Washington D.C.
