Two For Tuesday
Two very different, yet in at least one way quite similar, people are our ODDguests in the weblog today:Coretta Scott King and Nam June Paik. Nam June Paik was the inventor of video art. Coretta Scott King, as you of course know, was the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the keeper of the flame for his dream.
Did you know also that Coretta Scott King lent her name to a book award? According to Teen Reads the “recipients are authors and illustrators of African descent whose distinguished books promote an understanding and appreciation of the “American Dream.” Check Monster
Perhaps at this point you wonder how these two were alike? Both were very devout - Nam June Paik in Buddhism and Ms. King ever the Baptist.
In other news the Scotsman Online reports that Terry Isaac passed away in Mombasa, Kenya. FYI - most of the obituary is behind a paywall at the Scotsman. Check the available art work for Terry Isaac
