Linda Brown vs. Board of Education - 1954

"1954 Linda Brown, was a little girl who became a hero for the integration of segregated schools for Black Americans and other minorities - she didn't want to walk so far to school each day.  It was about two miles down a dark railroad track.  Her father was concerned and asked for permission for her to attend the white school near their home and was refused by the Topeka School Board in Kansas.  Later, the NAACP law team looked at the case and a lawyer by the name of Thurgood Marshall brought this case before the Supreme Court.  Linda's father only wanted his daughter to attend the school that was closer to their home.  The NAACP finally won her case, which allow school integration by blacks and minorities throughout the country.  Mr. Marshall became the first Black Justice to the Supreme Court."

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

"She sings with the voice of women of all ages singing for freedom, peace, justice, and love.  Black women continue to cry out for freedom, equality, and respect.  The voice of Sojourner Truth, can still be heard 'Ain't I, A Woman Too?', as she so profoundly sought the soul of a nation for freedom and peace."

The Delmar Apt.

"This painting represents many communities.  Today there are still neighborhoods where social freedom and peace can be found.  The concept of the village where people came together; children played, and elders maintained the family spirit.  Many of us will have to turn back the time in our minds."
