The Journey Daybook, Inc.

Here the group is studying pages that we made.

Four of our five - Anne takes the picture

This Friday’s outing was to the Thomas Center in Gainesville. Five of us toured the exhibits, walked the grounds, and made journey daybook pages at this beautiful, restored hotel which functions as an office and exhibit space as well as a banquet facility. One exhibit which especially caught our attention was the Rosewood Traveling Exhibit which documents the horror of death and destruction caused by fear and racial prejudice at a small village near Cedar Key in 1923. I think that all of us were shocked and saddened by the reality of this documentation, especially at the end of a week when we all felt so much hope, peace, and equanimity. A second exhibit, by Alachua County school children, was uplifting and gave us pride in our newest crop of young artists.
