"Living In My Skin" did more than tell stories of 33 Black men in San Antonio. It asked the question, "Is San Antonio as culturally enlightened as we think?" We are often ignorant to the truth but in order to make ourselves better, we must face the reality in our own communities.

When asked why he wanted to tell the stories of 33 Black Men, Lionel Sosa said because they "have to live in fear of their lives" where others never worry about their safety.

What legacy are we leaving our children? What do we teach them, with our actions?

At Lionel Sosa's mural next to the Tobin Center for Performing Arts, Seymour Battle's son looks at the portrait of his father. He looks up to him, and we strive to make a better world for all.
