Artist Statement by Blake/ Deborah

      Lenny and I had decided on some last minute things to put into our quilt square. Up top, you see an African American skull and a woman crying , because of all the sadness the KKK had caused. The KKK member holding the Mexican flag, symbolizes that they don’t want any more immigrants coming in to the US. The other KKK member with the flaming cross was meant to symbolize a ritual to God. The African American man being hung and the man lying down in a pool of blood refers to what the KKK did to other races different from theirs. And of course the big letters at the top, gives the onlooker what topic this quilt square is about.
