A dazzling exhibit hopes for POTUS visit

Hoping for a POTUS siting is Eleanor Brawley. She’s curator of the "Families of Abraham" photo exhibit that will return to the Levine Museum of the New South on June 24 and stay through convention week.

Its portraits of Jewish, Christian and Muslim families in the Charlotte area dazzled many when it first appeared at the uptown museum in late 2006.

Brawley told us she is hoping the president takes some time to check out the exhibit, and is so taken with it that he then finds a prominent place for it in Our Nation’s Capital.

She has her reasons for believing it could happen. Reason No. 1 is this quote from his 2009 inauguration: "We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers."
