This let us look at this occurrence via the work of French artist Jacques-Louis David displayed at the Metropolitan Museum Art in Manhattan's Central Park.

His painting, "The Death of Socrates" created in 1787 makes for a timeless window where we can creatively visualize the death of the Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.

Socrates is credited as the founder of Western philosophy. His actions were driven by the state's view of him as a dangerous and corrupting influence, a breeder of tyrants and enemy of the common men. His philosophy did not die with him. Subsequent philosophers realized the necessity of self-justification and self-defense in order to better civility.

A just justice system, civic-minded professionals in our criminal justice system, mental health advocacy and freedom of speech are ESSENTIAL as we continue to advance su***de prevention.
