I wanted to create a piece about this and highlight the fact that African-American women did not receive the right to vote in all 50 states until 1965 when the Voting Rights Act was passed. I met Phyllis at a rally. I was drawn to her and asked if she would be my model. Without hesitation she said yes. She later brought her friend Loretta with her.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Statement (Houston 2021):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"I believe that African-American women are the matriarchs of their families and communities.
