Description
C Is For Courage by Kathy K. McClellan is an image created for Day 34 of the Journal 2022 Challenge, a 365 day Personal Art Challenge. This is a square image bordered in black.
My journal entries for February 2022 include upper case (capital) letters of the Modern English Alphabet as well as a description that relays information on the word chosen for that day's letter. These letters are created from used wine corks.
C is the third letter of the Modern English Alphabet and this image is being created and posted on the third day of the month, which in February 2022 is a Thursday.
Did you know that December 1st, 1955 was also a Thursday? That is the day that Rosa Parks, an African American woman was threatened with being arrested if she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. Ms. Parks showed courage by not giving up her seat and was subsequently arrested and charged according to the Montgomery, Alabama City Code regarding segregation laws.
One year later, in December 1956, the United States Supreme Court banned all segregation on public transportation. Courage won.
