CONTENT OF CHARACTER

"Legacy"

Leadership is defined as that which is handed down from an ancestor or predecessor.  In the African American culture, quilt making itself personifies patience, love, and concern for the comfort and care of others.

In Mr. Hunt's "Legacy", on the surface we view a grandmother passing on her quilt-making skills to her grand-daughter.  However, a deeper look reveals the loving elder passing down a legacy of wisdom as she interweaves traits of the true essence of character into the heart and mind of her grand-daughter, just as Mr. Hunt has skillfully collaged the quilt representing good character onto the original painting.

An important common thread, The Word of God, links these works of art together.  The cross found in "The Passage", and "Leadership", and the small blue church house in the background of the "Legacy" represent the effect God's Word had on the character of people in the struggle.  Mr. Hunt has said on many occasions, "The content of good character is derived from God's perfect will."
