SHIFT

Artist: Lori Butler

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a person who helped our nation move from the violence of the Civil Rights Movement to a nonviolent effort for freedom and equality.  He was an inspiration for a national SHIFT from prejudice to justice.  His work was a catalyst for tenets of peace and love that were introduced by Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount.  This image was painted the Sunday before the holiday that celebrates his birth.  ”Blessed are the peacemakers.”
