Opening: L. Scooter Morris: We Are The People

We Are The People who recognize this moment for what it is.
It has happened before.
We can see the injustice occurring every day.
We know the struggle and know what we must do.
We the people remember the beauty of our land.
We are the people that remember the splender of what existed before
and must work together to reclaim it.
We are the heroes that we have been waiting for, wishing for, demanding.
We are the people.

Many of the sculpted paintings in this show include the documents
that founded this country.
They are embedded in the making of the painting as they were also rooted
in the formation of our nation.
