A section of "Dan's Papers"(July 24, 1992) entitled "Multiculturalism" that features a photo and information about Ms. Lechter. NOTES: "Ms. Lechter's work springs forth from her expression of her individuality and her connection with her diverse back ground. Her belief in animism can be traced to her African-American heritage: a particular painting, "Seven African Powers", depicts the energy not seen, but still present in life-affirming objects like a gourd, starfish and female statue. Lechter's artgives birth to a higher, hidden reality - a transcendental, existential way of looking at things..."
