The Significance of July 6
Frida Kahlo was born in Coyoacán, Mexico, in 1907. Her unflinching self-portraits, painted through decades of physical pain, made her a defining voice in 20th-century art — and a cultural icon whose image is still everywhere. In 1935, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, was born in eastern Tibet; he would spend much of his life in exile and receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his nonviolent campaign for Tibetan autonomy.
