However, as Williams sees our lives being awash with digital information and this tale may soon be forgotten, he ensures them a worthy tribute by casting the duos\u2019 high heel footprints into brass and setting them into the pavement where the incident occurred, creating a lasting symbol against harassment and persecution.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/williams\/williams7.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/williams\/williams8.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/williams\/williams9.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/williams\/williams6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lionheart &#038; Lightsout<br \/>\nThe Kingsway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12949,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[412],"portfolio_tag":[],"class_list":["post-4577","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-artists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4577"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12950,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4577\/revisions\/12950"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fportfolio_category&post=4577"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fportfolio_tag&post=4577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
