#ResistanceRoots Joseph Henry Sharp was born on this day in 1859 in Bridgeport, Ohio. A classically trained painter, he was captivated by the Southwest and focused on documenting tribal cultures and individual personalities. He became known as the Spiritual Father of the Taos Society of Artists. /1
Joseph Henry Sharp, ca. 1900. Sharp was a masterful visual historian and the visionary catalyst for New Mexico’s global art standing. His deafness, which began in childhood, became a professional asset, allowing him to bypass linguistic barriers to earn the trust of Indigenous models who rejected other white portraitists. Operating with a sense of urgency, yet treating his subjects with patience and respect, Sharp preserved the faces of a generation of Native Americans whose ways of life were under assault. His collection of more than 7,000 Western works, including his portraits of Little Bighorn survivors, stands as an irreplaceable historical archive. Sharp also set off the chain of events that birthed the Taos Society of Artists, transforming an isolated mountain village into an international powerhouse of American fine art.

This is the article I most vividly remember. A sympathetic portrait of mothers defending their sons who were “not falsely accused” but “wrongly accused.” They were fighting for impunity for rapists. It ran the week #MeToo went viral.

Some of the mothers met with Education Secretary Betsy DeVos before she changed the rules on how colleges should handle accusations.

This was Nick Chubb's greatest run ever. He rips off a 60-yard touchdown run, whoopty-doo. But if he scored, the Texans would've gotten the ball back with a minute left in a 1-score game. So instead of collecting the TD, Chubb ran out of bounds on the 1 yard-line to seal the win.
