    Tecia McKay of Dublin, Ga.
For McKay, the day “means an evolution for our country, for women, for a dream that can be achieved.  Kamala Harris is breaking the glass ceiling for women.  This is a benefit for everyone.  I consistently focus on diversity, not just for women but in every aspect including race and socioeconomic status.  This is step for everyone.  Equality does not have to be a dream.  Together, we can do so much more when we all have a voice.  My pearls represent the grace of a finer woman and still having the ability to achieve for the opportunity to help others.  I am truly excited at the possibilities for all of us.”

    We asked Lauren Tate Baeza, the High Museum's new curator of African art to select her top pieces in the collection and to talk about why they are important. First up: Unidentified Artist, in Timbuktu, Mali, created this Quran sometime in the 16th and 18th centuries. 
Baeza said this is a companion piece to the terra cotta figure, also from ancient Mali:

“Another object in the collection from Mali that is reflective of its rich past as a flourishing empire of great wealth and commercial activity and an important religious, cultural and educational center.”
