\"Ora Lee\"
This image of Ora Lee Norman, Joseph Norman\'s mother is part of the Invictis Series of portraitsinspired by the poem Invictis by English poet Ernest Henley (1849-1903.Norman uses the poem\'s powerful imagery and proclamation of victory over life adversities as a metaphorfor the challenges met by African American people and all of humankind:
Out of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may byFor my unconquerable sole.
In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud,Under the bludgeonings of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate;I am the captain of my soul.
