I’m so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner. She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer. She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her.

“The Embrace” (Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King, JR’s arms) is even more impressive in person than in news stories - and I’m only viewing through open spots in a covered chain link fence. Officially unveiled tomorrow in Boston Common @EmbraceBOS
