    No other creative field is as closed to those who are not white and male as is the visual arts.

    Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)

    He stands in warm water
    Soap all over the smooth of his thigh and stomach
    “Gary don’t soap my hair!”
    Mhis eye-sting fear—
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
