Rev. Dr. Stephanie May with John Thompson
As the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is celebrated this weekend, we remember the life and legacy of artist Winfred Rembert. Born in the Jim Crow South, Rembert endured imprisonment in multiple forms. Released in 1974, Winfred would put his story into art. Mr. Rembert’s memoir, “Chasing Me to My Grave”, won the Pulitzer Prize. John Thompson, Rembert’s friend and First Parish member, will share a reflection and show some of Rembert’s work.
