A new mural depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled in Roubaix, France, ahead of Independence Day in the United States. Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw painted the mural, titled “The Statue of Liberty’s Silent Protest,” on a building on Rue de Chemin-de-Fer.

"This image from Iran of rows of freshly dug graves for schoolgirls and their teachers is heavy for humanity. Each grave represents a child who should have been safe in a classroom, a future interrupted, a family changed forever.

My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., warned that war robs us of both the present and the promise of tomorrow. When children become casualties of conflict, we must confront the moral failure at the heart of violence.

Nonviolence is not naive in moments like this. It is necessary. It calls us to protect innocent life, to restrain the impulse toward destruction, and to pursue justice without sacrificing our humanity.

In our shared World House, the loss of these girls is not distant. It is a wound to us all."

-Bernice King
