Contributor Susan Greene's essay, "Painting the Wall," recounts one of the mural projects completed by Break the Silence Mural Project, an organization she co founded in 1989. A 'window unto Palestine,' BTS brings stories of life on the ground back to the US through art and culture.
"The mural was like opening a window for the world. One day the wall will be demolished. I wish I could open this cage and fly with my children, like the free bird in the mural."--Munira Aamer
