Can't Stop!
America's Journey from the Slave House
                to the White House
  This eight canvas series tracks the nearly 400 year quest for
African American freedom, liberation and equal rights, through
changes in religious beliefs, cultural identity and artistic creativity.
The paintings combine depictions of historical sites and well
known civil rights leaders with symbolic totems and religious
visions.
  "Even though the exhibit ends with the election of Barack
Obama to the presidency, my hope is that people will project
their own ideas of what comes next. That is, of where the
struggle goes from here and how far it can take us as a nation."
