As I See It: Liberty. y "Liberty" is a tribute to Michelangelo's "Pieta". This speaks to the loss of our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in this country. My mother image is a black woman, if you didn't know--the original model for the Statue of Liberty was a black woman carrying a lantern and broken chains. She was a gift from French abolitionists. The black man represents all black men and women who have been denied freedoms. On his arm is a Black Lives Matter tattoo. - GYLIBP

Gilbert Young bio
Gilbert Young's support of various community activities and events in his native town of Cincinnati, Ohio spans over two decades. He was active there in both the artistic and scholastic arenas. Young served as Director and Conservator of the Fine Arts Collection for the University of Cincinnati for twenty-six years. He also served as Artist-in Residence for the University in 1994-1995. Dating back to 1975, this multi-talented, multi-faceted, internationally known artist has lent the use of his images and time to many community projects and organizations. Young served as a consultant to the Harriet Beecher Stowe House Project, a renovation and restoration project for the Harriet Beecher Stowe house, creating a cultural arts center for the visual and performing arts in Cincinnati. In 1991, when the Cincinnati branch of the National Council of Negro Women hosted its first "Black Family Reunion", Gilbert was asked to provide the image that would become the official poster of the event. He also lent the use of his image, "Inside Daddy's World" , to The Black Male Coalition of Greater Cincinnati, Inc. in 1995 as the cover of their brochure and one of his most profound works, a commissioned portrait of civil rights leader Dr. martin Luther King hangs in the lobby of University Hospital.
