In the Kennebunk Room:
In
honor of Black History Month,
the York Diversity Forum has
mounted an exhibit of work by
students in the York Schools
that commemorate Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. The theme of
this exhibit is one of his
quotes: "Our lives begin
to end the day we become
silent about things that
matter."
In the Exhibit Cases
Upstairs:
A
new exhibit mounted by Cindi
Young-Gomes of the Museums of
Old York, brings together the
memories of Miss Elizabeth
Perkins' extensive travels
abroad, covering every
continent except Australia. As
a member of society Miss
Perkins attended the
coronation of the last Czar of
Russia. As an amateur
photographer she captured
images of her visit to the
ruins of Angkor Thom in
Cambodia by elephant. As an
adventurer she was pulled up a
cliff by basket in order to
reach a Greek mountain-top
monastery. All that remain-the
coronation cup, the faded
photograph, the written
account-give us a glimpse into
the world of Elizabeth
Perkins, and how she took the
world and made it her own.
