Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

The subject is a young black boy resting his chin on his hand giving an expression with pursed lips and one eye brow raised. The portrait is composed of vibrant colors of fabric so that the boy's body and highlights are made of blues, greens, and purples. His hair and shadows that give depth to the portrait are black. His suit is made of prints containing orange, pink, yellow. His shirt is white. The background is horizontal zig zags of orange and cream. The composition of the quilt looks like a painting.
In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, here is work from one of my favorite artists, Bisa Butler!
