What a brilliant visual compilation Mary Ann!!!
Such a colourful and effective collage of images and words, with an overlay of a )TV) screen capture; you have put the present historic celebration of hope re-ignited with the innauguration of President Obama in the overall historical context…simply stunning.
I’m not in the least surprised it’s been featured twice in two different groups!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WORTHY RECOGNITION!!!
