CHALK4PEACE draws it together in 2013. We honor the legacy of Dr. King...

At a tribute to Dr. King that took place 

at the Thacher School, Ojai CA, they 

conducted workshops, discussions, 

readings and performances. This chalk 

drawing was the visual arts component 

of the day. It took place at the amphitheater 

behind the Boswell Library. Members of 

the Thacher family filled the stage with

literal and artistic interpretations of Dr. King

and his pursuit of peace. Thank you to the 

United Cultures of Thacher for organizing 

such a thoughtful and expansive tribute.
