I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.— Theodore Roethke, “The Waking” (excerpt)
Adele Herter Seronde was an artist and organizer for Boston’s Summerthing Festival which she organized in response to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. She wanted to give people a way to express their anger through creativity by taking over decaying city walls and covering them in art. Her idea was to move the marches happening in the city streets into marches happening all over the city walls.
