Nice biographic piece to really compliment the one I did for Profiles in Courage on her. She had an amazing life, putting herself out on a limb more than a few times for her beliefs. The very same beliefs, in a way, that got my great grandfather killed.
We are all going to be challenged now. We may as well get used to it. Role models like Tina Modotti show us how to do it with flare, in our own ways, unafraid of what it will take to get the job done. She is truly a heroine.
Thanks so much for this. Modotti really did live an incredible life; she never hesitated to put everything on the line for what she believed in. It’s powerful to hear about your great-grandfather’s connection to those same ideals; history has a way of showing us just how much courage it takes to stand up for what’s right.
And yeah, we’re all going to be tested now, no doubt about it. But if Modotti taught us anything, it’s that you face it head-on, with conviction….and maybe even a little style. She never backed down, and that’s exactly the kind of energy we need right now.

I’m going to watch her dance with Frida again… just because 😉
