delightful Declaration Day

   I had an inspiring time today (July 4) at Liberty Park/Gateway Plaza listening to, watching and “shooting” people of good will and good cheer celebrating Independence Day by making Declarations asserting the rights of all of us, showing how they/we want our community to treat eachother, and making commitments to act on those assertions and beliefs.  This posting commemorates the Declaration Day events at Liberty Park.

  •   Click on this thumbnail excerpt from the Declaration Day flyer, which sets the serious tone for the day. I hope the Slideshow images and other photos in this posting show the joy and hope of participants.  Many thanks to the Schenectady NAACP Chapter and all the other organizations and individuals who made the event possible.

PICNICKING … Big thanks go to Elizabeth and Eric for hosting a fine picnic and potluck meal behind their home at 17 Front Street, along Governors Lane at Riverside Park. I was enjoying myself, the guests, and the food too much to take many photos, but here are a few.
