00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.108
I am looking more to the
libraries as a place for

2
00:00:11.108 --> 00:00:16.794
interesting sort of current
lively discussions about our

3
00:00:16.794 --> 00:00:21.882
local situation and all
particularly the local art

4
00:00:21.882 --> 00:00:22.879
situation.

5
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.280
It to me, art is sort of a way
that is a form of education.

6
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.548
I mean, you know, when kids
understand art and have

7
00:00:32.548 --> 00:00:36.422
experience looking at art, doing
art and everything, it's, it's

8
00:00:36.422 --> 00:00:38.360
an that's a learning experience.

9
00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:43.221
I was looking for a place to
have an Alma Thomas museum where

10
00:00:43.221 --> 00:00:46.842
we could have these pictures and
the whole story about Alma

11
00:00:46.842 --> 00:00:49.800
Thomas because I thought she was
very important.

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:50.800
DC here.

13
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.449
You have a woman 35 years
teaching art in a middle school

14
00:00:55.449 --> 00:00:56.960
during segregation.

15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.449
So we ended up donating these
thirteen of these Alma Thomas

16
00:01:02.449 --> 00:01:06.240
pictures to the Martin Luther
King Library.
