Keep on for the sake of Art! Art shall not die!! You are very much an inspiration to me as a young artist myself! The people need to see what you’ve created visually to get the message accross to the mass! Issues still lie deep within that hinder us as people from growth.

Does her work help us to realize a problem and to solve it, or does it perpetuate the problem?

Walker’s work tries to force on me differences which I don’t perceive to exist. I see a difference of skin color, but that is really no difference at all. However, it seems that some continue to think that whites have a perpetual debt to pay to minorities for crimes committed 150 years ago. I’m sorry that slavery existed, but why should I feel shame?

If one race is constantly reminding the other of crimes long dead and buried, how will the two ever be reconciled???
