TODAY is history tomorrow. Sadly many individuals in today's society are unaware of the significance of history in their education and personal development and, hence, show no respect for the environment in which they live, work or play.

Those individuals who adorn various parts of our environment with their graffiti are victims of a dysfunction history whose creativity has been blocked and hence not expressed in a healthy creative manner. The problems facing our society are vast but they need to be faced, and dealt with in a healthy creative way.
