In 1985 Stevie Wonder was arrested for protesting Apartheid, South Africa's system of institutionalized racial discrimination, outside of DC’s SA embassy.

He declared himself a "conscientious criminal for world equality" and was never afraid of being political!

Harriet Tubman by Jade Yasmeen

Artist Jade Yasmeen has debuted a stunning portrait of formerly enslaved person-turned-abolitionist Harriet Tubman. According to the artist, hers is the first hyperrealistic portrait of Harriet Tubman to be painted in full color. “I chose Harriet as a way to commemorate the past,” Yasmeen explains. “Our ancestry is so rich and deserves to be preserved. That’s my goal as an artist.”
