| |  | | |  The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Dedicated in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial comprises a three-acre park honoring all of America's federal, state, and local law enforcers. It was designed award-winning Washington, DC, architect Davis Buckley, and showcases two pathways of remembrance that feature blue-gray marble walls engraved with the names of more than 19,000 fallen law enforcement officers. Each spring, the names of the officers killed during the previous year are engraved on the Memorial walls, followed by the Annual Candlelight Vigil ceremony to dedicate the Roll Call of new officer names. Approximately 200,000 people visit the Memorial every year. | |  | |  Pathfinders Artist Michael Platt celebrates trailblazers, knowledge-seekers, problem-solvers, and revolutionaries with larger-than-life prints on canvas in his new show Pathfinders at Honfleur Gallery. Foreground and background, past and present, pattern and figure all overlap in Platt's pieces to reveal the strength, resiliency, and grace of individuals who break with tradition. Platt is a Native Washingtonian and self-described "image-maker" who combines photography, digital imagery, and printmaking for this series of haunting, transcendent work. | |  Baseball's Greatest Hits: The
Music of Our National Game This exhibition features baseball sheet music from the collections of the Music Division at the Library of Congress. Most of these works are original copyright deposits and represent only a small fraction of the more than 400 published songs about baseball in the Music Division's custody. They illustrate the remarkable congruence between the evolution of the sport from pre-Civil War to the present, and the musical counterparts that have chronicled in song baseball's greatest moments. | |  Friday, February 17 Exhibit - From the Desk of Simone Beauvoir
