Although abstract isn't my favorite school of art, Alma W Thomas' art is very appealing perhaps because of her use of color and symmetry. If you happen to be in Washington, DC between September 15, 2023–June 2, 2024, you'll definitely want to take in the showing of her work "Composing Color: Paintings by Alma Thomas" at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Lest we forget.

I don't usually cite Wiki, but this appears to be the most updated list of unarmed Black people murdered by the police. Remember who they are.
