I am Michelle Barnes, Artist and co-founder of the Community Artists' Collective. We are deeply rooted in the heritage of Houston's 3rd Ward.

We are tied to each other as artists, educators, administrators, mothers, fathers, and as people who vote, people who care. People who are practicing, perfecting, and professionalizing the art of giving back to our communities across the country. We want the National Endowment for the Arts. It must continue to be an agency of the people of America but the National Endowment for the arts must respect the people it serves. The Congress must let the NEA do the work it knows should be done.

Hidden Selections of Houston’s African American and Jewish Heritage
The Hidden Selections of Houston’s African American and Jewish Heritage collection provides public access to collections highlighting the history and experiences of African-American and Jewish communities in and near Houston, which in turn shed light on nationally significant issues including politics, art, race, and religion. These communities are underrepresented in archival repositories across the nation, and particularly in publicly accessible digital repositories.
