The huge mural (50x20 meters) in front of the wall of the Vienna International Centre was painted by Fintan Magee, an Australian artist, in cooperation with the Calle Libre Street Art Festival, The United Nations Office at Vienna, and other partners, all in support of the Sustainable Development Goals. The work explores the fragility of peace and underlines the human-centric nature of the United Nations.

On MLK Jr. Day, Monday, January 20 at 5:00 PM, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, over a dozen progressive community organizations from across Philadelphia descended on City Hall at the Catto Statue as a show of solidarity with the struggle for Black liberation and self-determination. Supporting organizations noted the inauguration of Donald Trump also occurred on that day and took a stand against the white supremacist, imperialist and misogynist system that he is the latest representative of. The Philadelphia Anti-Imperialist Alliance calls for a world transformation that does not rely on oppression and imperialism.
At City Hall, the crowd of over 250 people braved frigid temperatures to hear speakers from Workers World Party, Philadelphia Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the
Students for Justice in Palestine Coalition.
The march paused at 11th and Market to listen to speakers from the Save Chinatown Coalition and Health Care Workers for Palestine.
The march ended at 5th and Market, where Anakbayan, Friends of Congo and Industrial Workers of the World also spoke.
The assassination of Dr. King in 1968 as he organized sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee, was a naked act of state violence aimed at preventing his revolutionary work of uniting poor and working people in support of Black liberation. His lifetime fight against what he called the “triple evils” of U.S. racism, economic exploitation, and militarism is one we continue today. Rather than recite quotes in an empty attempt to show solidarity, we call upon all to join together against inhumane immigration policies, in support of health care as a human right, call out those who want to undermine Black history, call out those who erode voting rights, demand the resources we need to solve our climate crisis and end U.S. imperialism that makes us all less safe.
We are more than a year into the brutal U.S./Israeli-led genocide in Palestine and hundreds of years into the existence of the U.S. empire that Dr. King understood to be the “greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Regardless of which party sits in the white people’s house in Washington DC., we understand that local and international repression and violence will continue unabated unless we unite and organize.
The struggle against imperialism must continue until all colonized and oppressed people are free! Until all political prisoners are at home! Until all occupied lands–from Lenapehoking and Palestine to Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Puerto Rico, Haiti to the Philippines–are returned! Until all people have access to the basic human rights of housing, food, clean water, free healthcare and education!

2009 Presidential Inauguration ensemble worn by First Lady Michelle Obama; designed by Isabel Toledo (Cuban American); 2008; felted wool lace, silk radzimir, and silk netting. Crafted from guipure. Toledo recalled how this textile sparked her imagination: "Quite honestly, it all started with the fabric. The textile itself began to weave the magic that followed. I have always allowed textiles to lead the way to a new vision, and this time was no different--except the results ere staggering. This was a felted wool lace and reminded me of floating islands connected by one strong and sturdy thread. The empty spaces gave me the ability to play with the illusion of light escaping from beneath...I love lace in any form because for me, it is one of the most modern as well as ancient textiles...With that tiny lemongrass lace swatch, I had found my voice and was immediately inspired to start designing." Toledo's creation for Michelle Obama constitutes a recent example in the long tradition of employing lace on the body as a status symbol.
Looking back the other way down 18th street the crowd stretches back from K all the way to the mall. 1:38 pm
