These four large plexi works are inspired by interviews with my mother, Delores Davis. My mother was one of the first students to integrate the all-white Crowley High School in her hometown of Crowley, Louisiana. She attended an historically black college (Grambling University) and then worked as a high school teacher for 30 years before recently retiring. The smaller plexi pieces directly below the larger works include text from the interviews. My mother chronicles her experiences going to a predominately white school in the 1970s, her college education, and her experiences as a teacher.
