As we celebrate the incredible work of our February non-profit, the Alonzo A. Crim Center for Educational Excellence, they've whipped up their own focus this month, "Seeing Beautiful in our Youth." It's a focus that is seminal in our community. As part of their focus, they invited women to share how they see beautiful in themselves and the world. The following reflection is brilliantly written by Tene Harris Davis. We find ourselves reveling in great hope that our future holds so much thoughtfulness and beauty. Thank you, Tene for sharing such wisdom for others on seeing beautiful.
"I
see this [photograph] as beautiful because it demonstrates an act of passing the
torch. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took up
the
charge to lead when her father died. Now that she is getting older she
is now reaching out to the next generation to groom them so that this
charge will not die with her as it didn’t with her father. (This picture
was taken at the Commemorative Service held
annually on MLK Day at the historic Ebenezer Baptist church. The student
pictured is Brianna Curtis, a junior at Washington Early College. Our
Early College students were invited to participate in this service as
the MLK Center attempts to reach out to youth
in a way that it has not done in the past. This is its first step. We
are proud to be a part of this effort.)" – Tene Harris Davis
