Light painting (above) in my soon to be vacated home office with electronic sparklers designed as a gift by the incomparable Angus Chassels...for more on light painting see the first installment of "Parties in Hotels: Light Paintings at the Hotel Chelsea..." Building on what I learned about racism in the United States while writing "Big, Easy Money: Disaster Profiteering on the American Gulf Coast," (featured on CNN, NPR and the Independent (UK), Frontline and the Christian Science Monitor) I recently took a civil rights quest to The King Center in Atlanta for the 39th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as to Selma, Montgomery and Birmingham Alabama. This quest was taken with Lila Cabbil, a personal accountability partner from the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development.
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
~Jack Kerouac
