“No work is
insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and
importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I found this wonderful, stately home on Google street view. I was
drawn to the landscaping. It was so fun to paint the cute little round
bushes and the cool rock wall.
About Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., the revered civil- rights activist renowned
for his stirring “I Have a Dream” speech, was arrested more than 20
times for his part in civil-disobedience actions. He was born on January
15, 1929. He believed in the power of nonviolent protest, and organized
the Montgomery Bus Boycott to protest Jim Crow segregation laws. The
protest was successful, leading to a change in the law and cementing
King’s leadership in the emerging movement. He was assassinated on April
4, 1968.
