              <text>People have asked us...which do we see ourselves as...Black or Deaf? We as a Black Deaf community have been hidden behind the mask and smile....trying to figure out who we are. At the end, most of us are feeling that we are not just this or that, not a half person...As a whole person, we should be called BlackDeaf.  Not just Black or Deaf...a whole person. The canvas shows two side of the coins with the sign Black on one side and Deaf on the other side. The colors are blending together to show the wholeness of BlackDeaf individual.</text>
