a little Cooper sketch...

Thinking I might do a colorful little portrait of Cooper.  Working on the sketch first.

Freedom Rides.

I'm watching Oprah right now.  It's May  4th, at 4:25 pm.  I have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat as I watch this episode.  It is the 50th Anniversary of the Freedom Rides.  In 1961 a group of black and white men and women,  that were against the segregation and unequality, decided to take a bus ride from Washington DC to New Orleans.  They were making a stand for racial equality, for love and humanity.  They knew they were risking their lives by standing up for what was right.  They had all signed their wills before they left on this dangerous journey.   At one point, when they were in Alabama,  their bus was attacked by members of the KKK.  The bus was on fire and the KKK tried to hold the door shut so they would all burn.  When they finally got out of the bus, many were beaten and left to die.  This was only 50 years ago people!  It is heart breaking.

God bless these very brave people of the Freedom Rides.  They risked their lives for what was right.  I pray that someday, no one will be judged for the color of their skin, their religion, or the country they were born in.  God bless our souls.
