Artist Kenturah Davis incorporates writing and language in her process.

I was thrilled to help honor my friend and mentor, Marian Wright Edelman, at the National Portrait Gallery USA celebration this weekend. Marian has spent six decades bending the moral arc of the universe toward justice, and we are all the beneficiaries of her noble mission.
