Monnet Hall was the law school building associated with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund strategy to initially challenge school desegregation cases with law schools. The U.S. Supreme Court found that student admission to a public institution could not be based solely on race.

In 2022, my project Structures that Transformed Education was awarded an Artistic Innovations Grant, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Arkansas Arts Council. The financial support from these organizations will support photographing and building architectural sculptures of schools that played a role in changing education in America. This grant also supported a forthcoming solo exhibition, an artist workshop, and a panel discussion, at the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub.
