SUMMARY:Walk a Mile in my Shoes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:CIVIL RIGHTS MEMORIAL – Los Angeles\nLace Up for Inspiration: A Walk A Mile in My Shoes Adventure in LA. Imagine stepping onto a vibrant Los Angeles boulevard and feeling history come alive beneath your feet. That’s the magic of Kim Abeles’ “Walk a Mile in My Shoes\,” a public art masterpiece that transforms Obama Boulevard into a captivating odyssey through social justice. Forget static museums – this is art you walk into\, where each step unfolds a powerful story waiting to ignite your soul. \n \nStep Back in Time\, Walk with Legends\nClose your eyes at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd + Obama Blvd and feel the weight of history beneath your soles. Stand on a 7-foot bronze replica of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s shoes\, gazing at iconic photographs that transport you to the heart of the Civil Rights movement. Witness the Selma march\, Dr. King’s visit to the Gandhi shrine\, and powerful documents that whisper tales of struggle and triumph. \n \nMeet Your Local Heroes\, Walk with Hope\nAs you move forward\, the past gives way to the present. At the intersection of Obama Blvd + Jefferson Blvd where the second site is located\, photographic tiles introduce you to local heroes\, and everyday champions who dedicate their lives to building a better tomorrow. From tree-planting activists to community artists\, their stories remind you that change starts with each of us. \n \nMore Than Viewing\, It’s Feeling\n“Walk a Mile in My Shoes” isn’t just about looking at art; it’s about feeling it. \n\nBronze Footprints\, Living Stories: Each site features bronze plaques with detailed biographies of the 60 individuals represented. Learn about their teenage years\, and the seeds of change sown early on\, and feel their journeys resonate with your own.\nPoetry in Motion\, Voices in Harmony: Let the words of Beverly Lafontaine’s evocative poem guide you. Inscribed on benches designed for dialogue\, her verses spark conversations that bridge divides and weave a tapestry of understanding.\n\n \nA Beacon of Change\, A Call to Action\n“Walk a Mile in My Shoes” isn’t just art; it’s a movement. \n\nCommunity Impact\, Ripples of Hope: Inspired by the stories\, a visitor generously donated to the non-profit organizations championed in the artwork\, proving that art can be a catalyst for real-world change.\nWalk With Us\, Walk for Change: Benches are designed for sharing\, not just sitting. Discuss your reflections\, listen to others\, and let the collective power of your voices fuel the movement for a just society.\n\nThis isn’t just a walk; it’s a journey. A journey that will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose\, a deeper understanding of your place in the world\, and the unwavering conviction that every step\, however small\, leads us closer to a world where everyone can walk their path\, free from prejudice and injustice. \nSo\, lace up your shoes and join the adventure. “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” awaits\, ready to captivate your heart and ignite your soul. Take the first step today and discover the power within you to make a difference\, one story\, one step at a time. \n\nAbout the Artist\nKim Abeles is an artist whose artworks explore biography\, geography\, feminism\, and the environment. Her work speaks to society\, science literacy\, and civic engagement\, creating projects with the California Science Center\, health clinics and mental health departments\, and the National Park Service. Her collaborations with air pollution control agencies involve images from the smog\, and large-scale projects with natural history museums in California\, Colorado\, and Florida incorporate specimens ranging from lichen to nudibranchs. \nIn 1987\, she innovated a method to create images from the smog in the air\, and Smog Collectors brought her work to national and international attention. National Endowment for the Arts funded two recent projects: as artist-in-residence at the Institute of Forest Genetics she focused on Resilience; and\, Valises for Camp Ground: Arts\, Corrections\, and Fire Management in the Santa Monica Mountains were made in collaboration with Camp 13\, a group of female prison inmates stationed in the Santa Monica Mountains who fight wildfires. She has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, J. Paul Getty Trust Fund for the Visual Arts\, California Community Foundation and Pollack-Krasner Foundation. \nHer work is in forty public collections including MOCA\, LACMA\, Berkeley Art Museum\, Brooklyn Museum\, California African American Museum\, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. Abeles’ process documents are archived at the Center for Art + Environment\, Nevada Museum of Art. \n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nkimabeles.com/walk-a-mile-in-my-shoes\n \n  \nFind more

Tour a virtual exhibit of the historic 1963 March on Washington through the world of Minecraft to interact with Civil Rights leaders like Dr. King himself and activists who are continuing Dr. King’s legacy today. \n\n\n\nA SPECIAL MINECRAFT MLK DAY PROJECT: \n\nMeet the activists from the historic 1963 March on Washington who paved the way for change against systemic racism and current activists who are continuing Dr. King’s legacy today.\n\n \nLOCATION: This opportunity takes place online on Saturday (1/14) from 10:00 AM PST – 9:00 PM PST and will re-open on Monday (1/16). You will be emailed a link to participate after signing up\, and our L.A. Works team will show you how to access the exhibit on the day of the event. \nFor those who have already registered\, you should have received a link from the opportunity coordinator (natalie@laworks.com) on Thursday (1/12). Please check your spam folder before emailing natalie@laworks.com\, if you cannot find the invitation. \nMLK DAY OF SERVICE: This is a part of L.A. Works’ MLK Jr. Day of Service 2022 event to honor Dr. King’s life and legacy through service. The event builds upon the anti-racism movement through an interactive March on Washington in Minecraft and in-person event at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on 1/16 . Sign up for one or more activities at laworks.com/mlk. \nWHY: MLK Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country step up to make our communities more equitable and take action. Dr. King believed that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” as he fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action. \nVideo games\, an important means of human connection\, have become especially valuable during this pandemic. With 126 million people playing Minecraft monthly\, we have the opportunity to leverage this platform to create the infrastructure for a whole new level of volunteer participation. This year\, we’ll inspire the next generation of activists by giving them a platform to listen to the voices that spoke before them and give them a space for their voices to be heard as well. \nTHE EXPERIENCE: Volunteers will first meet our L.A. Works team to receive a short introduction about the exhibit and troubleshoot any technical issues. Afterward\, our team will give volunteers a tour of the virtual space\, introduce them to non-player character versions of past and present activists\, and give them a chance to build an activism-centric model of their own. Please note: this opportunity is self-guided and can be done on the participants’ own time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhttps://volunteer.laworks.com/opportunity\n \n  \nFind more

Founded in 1942 by James Farmer and Quakers\, CORE launched an aggressive attack on segregation during World War II. Quickly rising to prominence\, CORE became one of the “Big Three” organizations that reshaped America in the 20th century. \nWhile all three played vital roles\, CORE distinguished itself through its pioneering use of nonviolent tactics. They initiated the Freedom Rides and sit-ins of the 1940s and 50s\, even inspiring Dr. King’s adoption of non-violence in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. CORE’s vanguard\, including Schwerner\, Goodman\, Chaney\, and Liuzzo\, bravely faced arrests\, beatings\, and even death while registering voters in the 1950s and 60s. \nMeanwhile\, CORE-CA championed equality in the North\, tackling fair housing\, employment\, and education issues. We played a key role in establishing federal and state agencies for these causes\, but remain vigilant\, monitoring their effectiveness spearheading the fight against police abuse\, and securing education as a fundamental right for our youth. \nBeyond these ongoing efforts\, CORE-CA tackles the rising tensions between Black and Hispanic youth through research and community engagement. Additionally\, we prioritize building self-esteem and academic skills among African American students facing increasing barriers to higher education and career opportunities. In all these endeavors\, CORE-CA collaborates with diverse stakeholders across public and private sectors\, determined to build a more just and equitable future for all. \n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nkingdomdayparade.org\n \n  \nFind more
