f f f Page 2FULLERTON OBSERVER REGIONAL NEWS EARLY FEBRUARY 2019 Thousands Gather for Womens’ March 2019 by Jesse La Tour

On January 19th, thousands gathered in downtown Santa Ana for the third annual OC Women’s March. “This is the third year that we’ve come together to march to assert what should be a very simple concept, but one that we still struggle to achieve, and that is that women’s rights are human rights,” said event emcee Dr. Michele Goodwin to the large crowd of people gath - ered near the Civic Center before the march began. Goodwin noted that this year’s march comes on the same week as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday, and that Dr. King stood for more that just the March on Washington, but he also stood for equal pay, for envi - ronmental justice, and for women’s rights. When King was asked in 1966 why he stood for so many social movements, his response was, “I refuse to segregate my moral concerns.” Goodwin led the crowd in a chant “We refuse to segregate our moral concerns!” Indeed, the Women’s March was not just about women’s rights. Gillian Palacios, a sophomore at Santa Above: Ana High School read from the mission statement of Presidential Medal of Freedom the OC Women’s March: “We march as a grassroots honoree Civil Rights leader effort, fighting for equal rights of all women, regardless Dolores Huerta (at center) led of religious beliefs, race, status, or sexual orientation.

“Exodus” Works by Mandana Moghaddam VIDEO @ G RAND CENTRAL ART CENTER 125 N. Broadway, Santa Ana, CA 92701 (714) 567-7233 www.grandcentralartcenter.com Borrowing its name from ancient history, the video Exodus tackles the mass flight/movement of the people all over the world trying to survive war, poverty and social injustice. Mandana Moghaddam knows firsthand the refugee’s sense of loss and displacement, hope and renewal. At age 21, she fled Iran after her father was executed in the revolution and she was barred from higher education as a penalty for political activities. After five years in transition in Turkey, she was granted asylum in Sweden, where she lives today. Her video Exodus captures that experience through the motion of suitcases adrift on the ocean, lost in passage — the baggage of our worldly goods that both protect us and expose us, cloak us and mark us as individuals or as members of a certain culture. The uncertainty of their delicate dance on the waves, and the comfort of reaching solid ground, evoke empathy and a desolate sense of loss, amplified by the sheer simplicity and beauty of the images. Gallery hours are Tues-Thurs 11am-4pm; Fri-Sat 11am-5pm; Sun 11am-3pm; and every 1st Saturday 7-10pm. Through February 17, 2019.
