Rising Above Retribution

An Escorted Detainee   (Public Domain)

Glenn Morgan’s father was one of the tragic casualties of September 11, 2001.  Morgan has harbored quite a bit of understandable anger against those who perpetrated the attack.  Yet he’s also determined to harbor kindness.

This amazing duality has resulted in Morgan’s donation of art supplies to the very men who allegedly killed his father.  Although he hopes that justice will eventually be served, Morgan feels some compassion in the meantime.  His donated materials have been sent to the Guantanamo Bay detention center where these “accused 9/11 terrorists” have long been awaiting trial.

Detainee art becomes U. S. government property.  Yet its therapeutic value will hopefully remain within the artists themselves.
