Title : Mother Nurture
Medium : oil pastel 20" x 30"
Intent: 
		Africa starves, yet her land full of natural
		resources, goes to big Western governments, and
		corporations, making them rich.

		While she starves, Africa is still like the Mother
		nurturing her children as best she can. Her children
		include the rest of the world.

Title : Portrait of an American Patriot
Medium : Oil pastel 39" x42"
Intent: 
		This piece is intended to give recognition to Black
		Americans for their part in fighting for this country,
		and preserving it's union throughout the over 3
		decades of the United states existance.  For some
		reason, whenever America speaks of her patriots, the
		faces are never Black.  The so called UNITED STATES of
		AMERICA still fails to recognize Black Americans, and
		their contributions as a major part of this country.

Title : Plains of peace
Medium : Oil pastel 18" x 24"
Intent:  
		The people of this continent need peace, but cannot
		have it because, war in Africa is profitable people,
		and businesses in America, and Europe.

		It's sad, but true, people starving and dying in
		developing nations is very profitable for developed nations.
  
Title : American Boys of Summer
Medium : Oil pastel 27" x 42"
Intent:
		Baseball is the American pastime, yet Black men were
		not allowed to play in the major Leagues.  The reason
		not for lack of talent, but simply because they were
		Black.

		Being black kept them from performing for more crowds,
		competing against and with White Major Leaguers, and
		from having their stats, and records officially
		recognized.

		A few years ago ESPN voted their top 100 Athletes of
		the 20th. century.  On their list were Golfers,
		females, and horses, but no Negro league players. 
		Babe Ruth made number 2 overall, and Josh Gibson who's
		stats were equal, or better than Ruth's is still
		unknown to most people.
