“Nevertheless, They Persisted” by Do Palma
This is one in a series of posts featuring an artist whose work is included in the Threads of Resistance exhibition.
Artist’s Statement:
This is my response to Mitch McConnell’s decision to block Elizabeth
Warren from testifying at the Senate confirmation hearing for Attorney General
Jeff Sessions. Warren was reading a letter from Coretta Scott King that was
critical of Mr. Sessions. McConnell stated, “She was warned. She was given an
explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” Later, other (male) senators read
the same letter into the record.

Excellent. Some of the faces (and more of the names) were familiar to me, and now I want to look them all up.
ReplyDeleteEmotionally inspiring and visually beautiful. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt! Mine will feature predominately Hillary Clinton because of her decades of work for women and girls around the world. Work that infuriates many and has been very effective. Women's rights are human rights- once and for all!- Hillary Clinton.
