Sandy Ludwig came to Goose Creek Studio today to share her poem "Fractured Faith" as an invocation for the Thin Blue Line exhibit.  We are honored to have Sandy speak her truth and share it with us all.

The photos intermingled with the poem worked perfectly. That was some impressive editing.

Touching and Heartfelt ! I could visualize every word spoken. The art work also tied in nicely with what you said. Your poem told a beautiful and sad story that we are still facing today.
Thank you for sharing!

When I laughed like i owned laughter. Innocence lost. Poignant and sad, but beautiful.

Fractured Faith by Sandra Ludwig is a hauntingly bittersweet glimpse into the lives of Black people. It eloquently paints a picture of happier childhood memories before her faith was fractured by the harsh realities of being Black in America. Ms. Ludwig’s reading lets you feel the”strong, steady tremor” underlying the daily quest for survival. The poem passionately documents the author’s plea to restore her “Fractured Faith” as well as the fractured faith of the American dream.

Fractured Faith is an exquisite poem not for the faint of heart. It speaks to those yearning for justice and equality.

Heartfelt and thought provoking. I have always been a fan of Miss Ludwig’s writing, now I’m a fan of her written word.
