Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Conducting research about Hansberry and her work was eye-opening for me. She was part of a broader current of artists, thinkers, and activists during the 20th century who grappled with issues related to racism, socioeconomic inequity, gender roles and stereotypes, and sexuality; it was fascinating to learn how her ideas fit into—and influenced—this progression."
