Photo Exhibit--August 2015

 

P

See the largest mountain fortress in the Americas with canons ready to fire on Napoleon’s army.  The Louisiana Purchase was a byproduct of the first successful black slave revolution in history. But who knew?

See the photos of pink flowers growing out of cement in Haiti proving all good is possible.

See the intact unscathed crucifix standing outside of the crumbled post-earthquake Cathedral in Port-au-Prince.

See  the “mud pie lady” and her mud pies roasting in the Haitian sun.  Haitians consume this product like we do Mrs. Field’s cookies.  This can’t be real…

See photos of smiling running children and beautiful women.  And witness long-suffering men pulling impossibly heavy objects on their backs. 

See Haiti’s Martin Luther King praying for a burned girl on the altar of his church. What more could he do?

And imagine the image of a lone Haitian mother present in the Center in our midst softly sobbing as she stares at a photo on the wall of her lost daughter. She proves all of this is too real.  

This Haitian photo exhibit will continue at Prairie Center of the Arts in Peoria,  August 3—August 7, 10 AM-3 PM.
