In the artist's words, “I created a design about the Tulsa Race Massacre. There was a thriving black community in the US! There was a successful black community in the US but, of course because, "black people aren't supposed to own anything" they didn't let it survive. This is another incident I feel should have been taught in schools Abroad especially African Countries but, unfortunately wasn't for whatever reason- I personally never learned about it until I moved here.”

“Despite all that has happened to all black people around the world be it Slavery or Colonization there has always been a dare need to take things away from us. Things that we have "owned"; Natural resources on our land, and this same mindset caused the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma to be raided and destroyed for NO REASON AT ALL.”
