Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Thanks to this project, I learned about a man whose actions I had never heard about in a classroom setting. I could read firsthand the words of a survivor who stood up and made an impact, a true leader and a hero. This realization has made me rethink my perspective about the rarely talked about portions of history and the importance of amplifying these overlooked heroes."
