Art from pagr A6 ers. "The university main rains a world-class sculp ture garden that attracts visitors and scholars from across the region. It also provides student experi ences and opportunities for teaching and learning in the humanities. 'The Conversationalist' is cer tainly a welcomed addi tion to the campus and also brings more gender balance to a public art collection comprised mostly of male artists." Booker is an award winning sculptor, having earned the Whitney Biennial in 2000, the Pollock-Krasner Grant in 2002 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005. Her work has been exhibited widely both national and internationally, including at Diggs Gallery in 2002. She also has pieces in the collections of Selected institutions include The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Booker lives in New York City and her studio is located in Allentown, Pa. The WSSU sculpture garden was begun in 1981 when the Hanes Foundation provided landscaping for the proj ect and former university trustee Gordon Hanes funded a national compe tition for the first piece. Mel Edwards of New York was the finalist cho sen and he created a 12 foot stainless steel sculp ture called "Southern Sunrise" which was installed overlooking the front of the K. R. Williams Auditorium in 1983. Photos by Chanel Davis Revs. Willard Bass (left) and Rev. Dr. George Banks. Moral from page AI around 3,600 people in Forsyth County who are eligible to be registered but are not," Taylor said. "I want to find unique ways to get those people regis tered." Linda Sutton, Central NC organizer for Democracy N.C., said that the agencies are working in unison to make govern 't ment truly for the people, by the people. "All of us are involved because all of us have something at stake," she said. "The issues involved in this movement all lead to voting. The people who we elect to represent us and our interests; the laws that are passed that impact you, your family and your children." Sutton said that the agencies plan to keep the momentum going up until November. "People have not been participating at the levels that we would like, so I politicians have been left alone to do their own bid ding," she said. The Ministers Conference, which includes mostly pastors who lead largely African American congregations, bills itself as nonpartisan, but Bass said members decided to get involved after getting a call from the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus. "After we began to see the kind of legislation that was coming out of Raleigh, we knew that we had to provide a voice that brought truth to the con versation," Bass said. "In the Bible, it talks about providing for the needs of the poor, sick and of the lesser person. We see that the legislature is not doing any of that." Winston-Salem resi dent Jerry Thomas has been to 28 NAACP rallies across the state. He plans to be at the one Monday. "I go to the rallies because of what they (leg islators) are doing right now, because the more people who show up and raise our voice in the aggregate, will wake up the people in North Carolina. It is all focused on the November elec tions," he said. Monday s rally is open to all. For more informa tion, contact Linda Sutton at 336-870-2168 or Linda@democracy nc.org, or Rev.
