Here, his "History Refused to Die" (2004), a freestanding, mixed-media sculpture whose title neatly summarizes the artist's worldview, commands a room filled with numerous quilts, as well as such works as Lonnie Holley's "African Mask" (2003), made with old car tires, electrical outlets, a welder's mask, and lace; Ronald Lockett's "The Enemy Amongst Us" (1995), a composition of vertical slats of rusty metal; and Purvis Young's painting on wood, "Locked Up Their Minds" (1972), depicting a crowd of people rallying around two long-necked horses.

When Big Man on Campus Bryce (Justin Prentice) rapes Hannah's former best friend Jessica (Alisha Boe), we see it from three points of view: first from the perspective of Hannah, hidden drunk and terrified in the closet, hearing sounds and seeing glimpses through the slats of the closet door; from the perspective of Jessica's boyfriend Justin, who briefly bursts into the room to see Bryce draping himself over Jessica's semi-conscious body; and finally in Jessica's hazy recollection, with Bryce's hands pinning her to the bed.
