Description: “A few years ago, I worked for the President of Huston-Tillotson University, a historically Black college (recently designated as a university) in Austin, Texas. I worked with several Black and Hispanic women. We discussed their experiences growing up in Texas, including their treatment by Anglos. In the painting, I wanted to represent the personal strengths that have contributed to their individuality and successes in life.”
