This talk and exhibition was presented to the Spokane South Hill Rotary Club during Black History Month 2025.
Part 1
The pictures are illustrations of crucifixions. Historically Black men have been crucified. It may have been dying stacked in slave ships, it may have been hanging from a tree during slavery, it may have been jailing after Reconstruction, it may have been in the media, it may have been psychological. The talk that went with these images was about my personal psychological crucifixions.




Part 2
Women have been crucified through time also, be it body shaming, be it cultural taboos, be it cultural appropriation, be it political correctness.




Part 3
When your dad gives you millions of dollars you think that they are toys for you to play with. Because you’re rich you think you have access to women that you can fondle, sexually abuse and dominate. You think you can trample on the American flag and on democracy. You’ve been a thug all of your life. Any Black person who did any of these things would have ended up in prison garb.





Viewing the pictures was an emotional experience for me: sadness, pain and anger. Many say art should make you feel something. We have a lot of work to do keep America and democracy safe.
