contemporary social justice issues of global significance. The museum has
recently undertaken an extraordinary exhibition on the urgent topic of
immigration and the global migration crisis entitled: The Warmth of Other Suns:
Stories of Global Displacement. This important exhibition presents 75 historical and contemporary artists—from
the United States as well as Algeria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Egypt,
Ghana, Iraq, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Syria, Turkey, UK, Vietnam, and
more—whose work poses urgent questions around the experiences and perceptions
of migration, internal and cross-border displacement, and the current global refugee crisis. Check out https://www.phillipscollection.org/events/2019-06-22-exhibition-the-warmth-of-other-suns.
In conjunction with the exhibition which is on
view through Sept. 22, the museum has also created a slate of dynamic
programming including artist talks. Exemplarily, on Aug. 29, Millennium
Arts Salon Executive Director Juanita Hardy will feature a Salon Panel Talk on
the issue of migration. TPC’s flagship event, Phillips
after 5, on Aug. 1, will honor night
markets and feature global music and cuisine. Always fun, and this with a
purpose.

change. The climate crisis must be tackled through policies and practices that

address is Who Owns the Rights to Your Likeness? In 1850, the eminent
Harvard naturalist Louis Agassiz commissioned photographs of African
slaves on American plantations. The slaves were photographed as specimens,
stripped to the waist with frontal and side views. Now, an
African-American woman, Tamara Lanier, is suing Harvard for ownership of
the photographs, saying they rightfully belong to her family. The case raises
some interesting questions. With the advent of the Internet, your
photographic likeness can spread all over the world in an instant. Who
owns the rights to your likeness?
David Lavine was born in Wilmington,
Delaware and is a graduate of the University of Delaware (B.A., History,
1967). He studied photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art
(MFA, 1978), and has been a freelance photographer for 12 years. He has been an

98] – The Trump
Administration is again beating the war drums. Most recently, the target
is Iran. Should the Trump administration initiate an act of war against
Iran, consider joining us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump
Administration to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only Congress
can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the war drums
for war against Iran and Venezuela. Should a war criminal, John Bolton,
convince Trump to attack either of these countries, such a military strike
would demand an immediate and unequivocal response from us to show that we will
not tolerate his abuse of power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a military strike against Iran
or Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N.
Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack is before 2 PM local
time, then the event will begin at 5 PM, local time. If the attack
occurs after 5 PM local time, then the event will begin at 5 PM,

“One

impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
