The bastion of compassion, of altruism, authenticity, artistry, and love has left this life.

You knew who you were... always... without apology, without a co-signer, without needing permission. And oh, how you were blessed with talent.

No words to describe your reach through generations. No words to describe your love force. No words to describe the lives you touched, saved, entertained, and shifted.

God will be at the gates to welcome you with the most glorious tribute.

Your family, colleagues, friends, fellow artists... will keep you alive and speak your name... forever.

Rest well, Dolly Parton.

WHAT A LIFE!!!!!

Mystery Monday – Week 2

Every photograph has a story. Help us uncover this one.

This week's Mystery Monday features a photo of 15 individuals gathered around a dinner table in what appears to be a crowded basement gathering space. Was it a family reunion, church supper, club meeting, holiday celebration, or something else? We don't know, but someone in our community might.

Can you help us identify:

• Who are the people in this photo?
• Where was it taken?
• When was this gathering held?
• What was the occasion?
• Why is this moment important to Waterloo's African American history?

Even if you only recognize one face, one family, or one small detail, your memory could help preserve an important piece of our community's history.

Please share your thoughts in the comments, share this post, and tag someone who may recognize the people or the location.
