I was at the National Museum of African American History last week and of course I visited the statues from the 1968 Olympics exhibit. Taken from one of John’s most iconic images, it’s a must see for anyone who visits the museums in DC!
I’m so glad to know that John was an inspiration in your photographic life and how much you value his iconic image, "Power Salute.” Your recommendation to visit the Washington D.C. National Museum of African American History and see the sculpture taken from John’s image sounds like a perfect trip, especially during Black History Month.
Thank you for your kind words in memory of John.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Floret
