Quote: President Clinton on Medgar Evers

Quote: President Clinton on Medgar Evers

Photo: Gordon Parks

Mr. Clinton said that Washington could learn from Mr. Evers.

“The next time you hear people complaining around Washington about what a rough business democracy is, we might do well to remember what it was like 50 years ago, and the sacrifices that were made.”

“Fighting for a world we can share instead of having to agree to let somebody else control it has always been a highly dangerous proposition. It is expensive in blood and life.”

Dreams in Color

Artist Ray Tucker is pleased to present his sophomore solo photography exhibition Dreams in Color.  This show is a collaboration with notable Harlem fashion and culture boutique, THE VAULT.
