Movie About Crazy Horse Monument to Be Shown
A video depicting the carving of the Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota will be shown 7-9 p.m. Thursday at the First United Methodist Church, Centralia.
The story is one of storytelling in stone. Indeed, sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski has “storyteller in stone” carved on his tomb at the base of the giant sculpture/mountain.
Begun as a request to help the Native American people preserve their heritage, Ziolkowski moved to the area in South Dakota in 1947 and, turning down government money, proceeded to start the long task of transforming the mountain into a project larger than that of the great pyramids of ancient Egypt, with less than $1,000 to his name.
Dramatic explosions, powered and hand tools are all used to varying degrees to carve this mammoth structure, the face of which is by itself nearly 10 stories tall. The video shows the transformation over the decades of the face and most basic structure of Crazy Horse atop a horse, overlooking his land.
This program is sponsored by Fire Mountain Chapter Fellowship of Reconciliation and Veterans For Peace Rachel Corrie Chapter 109.
The church is located at 506 S. Washington Ave.
