A proposed bill in Florida would allow kids as young as 14 to work overnight shifts 𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠. It won’t be private school kids who would take those jobs. With fewer migrant workers, defunded public school kids would fill the void. It’s all part of the plan.

Harriet Powers was born into slavery in Georgia in 1830s, lived through Civil War & later created extraordinary quilts based on scenes from Bible & other events. Look closely & you'll see she added quilted designs to her apron, definitively claiming her identity as an artist mfa.org/video/harrie...
Quilt decorated with individual panels representing Bible scenes with angels, figures, animals, etc.Black and white photo of a Black woman seated, starting out at us, wearing an apron with quilted images on it

“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits." - Martin Luther King, Jr. May we all embody that spirit and hold tight to our compassion. #MLKDay
