May Peace Prevail on Earth

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. It took the lives of 4 innocent little girls that day.  There will be a dedication of a sculpture in their memory today across the street from the church in Kelly Ingram Park.  I think this peace pole at the church says it all.

Fifteen Thousand Paper Cranes.......

blow gently in the breeze high above Railroad Park. This Birmingham Art Peace Project installation features origami cranes folded with love by individuals, and groups from as far away as Japan to honor the 50th Anniversary of the Birmingham church bombing victims. This is a very special weekend in Birmingham. This is just one that I will feature throughout the weekend around town.
