Happy 63rd Birthday Keith Haring

Today is the 63rd birthday of the artist and activist Keith Haring. He is someone whose work you know. You have seen it everywhere from MTV in the early days to yesterday on the side of a bus. His influence and legacy are far-reaching with no visible end in sight. I remember I bought a Keith Haring shirt one summer in Traverse City Michigan, it must have been 1990. It depicted a snake getting cut in half with the words “End AIDS” running under it. I loved that shirt, it made me feel powerful and involved and it gave me a voice. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
