Honoring
Our Ancestors: 14 Artists Stories and Pictures This multiracial anthology of 14 artists takes a fascinating approach to honoring our ancestors and where we come from. Each artist has a totally different expression of connection with their history. In my story I write about spirit ancestors and blood ancestors. Those who came before and helped make me who I am today. My ancestral wall of wonderful relatives includes: my parents, grandparents, the Aborigine people, Albert Einstein, Frida Kahlo, Groucho Marx, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Marc Chagall and Holocaust Resistance fighter and poet Hannah Senesh. It was an honor to be in this book. |
