Thanks Louise! I'll try to find more stories of migrant resilience to post here in these bleak times. I majored in history in college, a degree that’s led me down some deep rabbit holes in the Capitol.

Very moving. You really brought Brumidi and the others creators alive - and the eternal evil ones as well.

Thanks, Illana! Brumidi has become a low-key hero of mine the longer I hang around the Capitol beat.

My husband was Hispanic and a prolific and wonderful artist. He would be proud of your work. Thank you for sharing.
