Anthony was a friend of mine who passed away on February 24th.  He was a professor at Thurgood Marshall School of Law and an avid supporter of the arts in Houston.  Mostly, I would see him at art gallery openings, and took this portrait at one such event for him to use on Facebook as his profile picture.
