Peaceful Paradise. Carolina, PR. Pray for Puerto Rico, the whole island is without power. Pray for Texas, pray for Louisiana, pray for Florida, pray for Atlanta, pray for Mexico, pray for Barbuda, pray for Dominican Republic, pray for Cuba, pray for St. Maarten, pray for Dominica, pray for all of the Carribean, pray for the world, just pray. 🙏 Resilience. East River, NYC. What stuns me most about the sight of 1 WTC is how symbolic it is of resilience. In the face of great turmoil and terror, this building rose like a phoenix from the ashes and our city along with it. The trauma of those events have left lasting scars, but the spirit of New York is still thriving, brave and evolving. Though many lives were lost here 16 years ago today, they were not in vain. New York is still here, boldy going forward. Hate did not win. • • • • • #september11 #neverforget #911 #newyorkcity #16yearslater #twintowers #1worldtrade #downtown #downtownmanhattan #manhattan #financialdistrict #cityviews #skyline #NYC #newyorker #eastriver #bigapple A simple promise. Washington, DC. In light of the disgusting events that transpired in #charlottesville yesterday, there has to come a time where it must be questioned if this simple campaign promise is true. And if so, for whom? We cannot change the past course of our country's racist history, but we can fight where we stand. One, by condemning hatred and racism as sin. Two, by realizing that silence in the face of such darkness is passive consent. And three, by choosing to fight hatred with love, every single day. • • • • • #unitedstates #standup #washingtondc #charlottesvilleva #racismissin #nonviolence #lovetrumpshate #riseabove #Godislove #kNOwjesuskNOwpeace #equality #respect #justice #America Lady of Liberty. Hudson River, NYC. Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! - The New Colossus, Emma Lazaurus • • • • • #statueofliberty #freedom #liberty #america #unitedstates #onenation #nyc #newyorkcity #nationofimmigrants #landofthefree #observer #photography #raiseact #childofimmigrants #firstgeneration #equality #equalopportunity
