  • July 6 - PHOENIX, AZ: GERONIMO, the great grandson of the famous Apache leader Geronimo, plays the harmonica during an immigrants' rights prayer vigil in Phoenix Tuesday. Geronimo said he was fighting for the rights of all people and that his wife, an undocumented woman from Mexico, had been deported and he was also fighting for her rights. Immigrant rights' activists have been holding a prayer vigil in opposition to Arizona's tough new anti-illegal immigrant law, SB 1070, which is supposed to take effect on July 29. The bill requires local police and law enforcement agencies to verify the immigration status of people they suspect might be in the US illegally. Opponents of the bill fear it will lead to racial profiling. The US Justice Department announced Tuesday afternoon that they would file suit against Arizona to prevent implementation of SB 1070. They are filing suit on the grounds that immigration enforcement is the exclusive domain of the federal government.       Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 24 JUNE 2017 - BANG KRUAI, NONTHABURI: People pour scented water during a prayer before a "resurrection" or rebirthing ceremony at Wat Ta Kien (also spelled Wat Tahkian), a Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Bangkok. People go to the temple to participate in a "Resurrection Ceremony." Thai Buddhists believe that connecting people by strings around their heads, which are connected to a web of strings suspended from the ceiling, amplifies the power of the prayer. Groups of people meet and pray with the temple's Buddhist monks. Then they lie in coffins, the monks pull a pink sheet over them, symbolizing their ritualistic death. The sheet is then pulled back, and people sit up in the coffin, symbolizing their ritualist rebirth. The ceremony is supposed to expunge bad karma and bad luck from a person's life and also get people used to the idea of the inevitability of death. Most times, one person lays in one coffin, but there is family sized coffin that can accommodate up to six people. The temple has been doing the resurrection ceremonies for about nine years.
