by Betty Ann Brown, Professor of Art History, Department of Art, Cal State Northridge It is Wednesday, June 28, 1995. I open the New York Times. There, on the front page, is a photograph of a woman. She stands in a rain-soaked street. Her left hand clutches a sheet of plastic, gathered at her shoulders to shelter her from the drenching rain. Her right hand dips a plastic bowl into the flooding gutter and pours the water into a large pan. This is how she gets water for her family. This is how she survives. |
