absorbing slideshow on Diego Rivera creating mural

[raquelita]

I didn't know about the Detroit period either or although I was born there, lived there as a baby, and often went with my family to visit relatives there when I was a child. When an aunt died, maybe 25 years ago, I was there again. The inner city is dismaying, destroyed by the decline in auto production and earlier post WWII prosperity which "enabled" most people who could afford it to move to the suburbs. Now I think it would almost be worth going back to see the mural.

Squash blossom necklace--maybe a gift or picked up by Frida in an antique shop? Let us know if you find anything out, LaC.
