Mary Burkette will talk about “Beloved: Legacy of Slavery”.

Mary Burkett is an ordinary person called to extraordinary circumstance. She is a wife, mother and grandmother. Having had no artistic training, in January 2017, she began to create a living memorial to precious children killed in the Holocaust. In seven short months, Beloved: Children of the Holocaust, a collection of beautiful portraits, was complete. Since that time they have been viewed across the United States and in countries throughout Eastern and Western Europe and have received recognition from the Congress of the United States. 

?In December of 2017, Mary was inspired to begin a new collection honoring the lives of children, both enslaved and free, in the second half of 19th Century America. This collection is now comprised of 14 portraits, known as Beloved: Legacy of Slavery.
