This NeedhamBricksforJustice art installation is a memorial to the 90 black lives lost to police excessive force and violence so far in 2020. Ninety bricks were laid out on our front walk and steps, each bearing the name or picture of an individual lost to the same in our recent past. When church is at its best, it holds the stories, witness, and testimony of its communities and allows space for those stories to speak, to engage, and transform hearts, attitudes and bodies toward a more loving and healing presence and witness in the world. We hope this installation does just that - that it bears witness to the stories of our communities, that it calls hearts and minds to engage and be transformed toward more loving policy, loving action, and loving encounter in all that we do, and is done in and through us. We are honored to hold space for the witness for justice of these artists, and especially to hold space for the stories of the lives memorialized in and through their art. Thank you, Charlotte Caron, and to your team of artists and all those who contributed to this witness for justice in our community. #Needhambricksforjustice Click the link below to learn more: https://bricksforjustice.wixsite.com/needham Photo: Local artist, Charlotte Caron, and Rev.
