Photography, writing and music are all things I use in striving for social justice. Inspiring quote right now: “I like the idea of America, but I don’t know where to look for it anymore.”

National Park Service (NPS) workers removed previous educational exhibits on slavery which told the stories of the nine enslaved people who lived in the President's House and owned by George Washington. #BlackHistoryMonth #blackhistory #philadelphia #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory
One by one, the exhibits — including those entitled “Life Under Slavery” and “The Dirty Business of Slavery” — were taken down from the President’s House memorial to the nine people enslaved by George Washington on Independence Mall. What we are left with is “The Dirty Business of Censorship.”
On Tuesday afternoon people gathered in front of Sen. John Fetterman’s office at 2nd and Chestnut Sts. in Philadelphia to demand Fetterman “vote no” on additional funding for ICE. #indivisiblephl #noicephilly #50501Movement #RefuseFascism #petertobia
