A lovely note from Caroline Beidler

One of my drawings was presented as an award to Caroline Beidler, an activist in a campaign to clean up a manganese factory. She sent me the sweetest note saying how much she liked the picture. She also wrote, "I count myself very blessed to have been able to meet and work with you." The honor was mine, Caroline.photo:Melissa English, Caroline Beidler and Rachael Belz at Ohio Citizen Action's 35th anniversary party in Cincinnati.

Inspired by Julia Butterfly Hill - best known for living in a 180-foot-tall, roughly 1500-year-old California Redwood tree for 738 days between December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999. Hill lived in the tree to prevent loggers of the Pacific Lumber Company from cutting it down.

The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute was a noted black power protest and one of the most overtly political statements[1] in the history of the modern Olympic Games. African American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed the Black power salute at the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City.
