Good Trouble Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvas by Nomad and Needle

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." -John Lewis

How often were we told as children to "Stay out of trouble?" To be good, to be quiet, to respect our elders and authority, or to "go along to get along?" In the pursuit of justice, getting into good trouble is necessary. Inspired by John Lewis' words, this needlepoint canvas reminds us to stand up, speak out, and keep pushing for justice.

Hand painted and stitch painted, 5x7" on 13 mesh. Total canvas dimensions 9x11".
