April 25, 1993, during the March on Washington, Urvashi Vaid ended her speech by saying,
"We stand for freedom as we have yet to know it, and we will not be denied."
Those words still give me chills.
In 2007 I created a series of paintings titled "American Freedoms Diet" all inspired by the impression her speech had on me. I called Urv last year after she saw one of the pieces and emailed me. We spoke for over an hour about many things.
All this still makes the small hairs on my body stand at attention.
