�Christian artist, Lloyd Marcus along with three other distinguished black conservative political activists sat on a panel to address the Congressional Black Caucus. Each panelist spoke on topics crucial to the Black community.
�

Marcus spoke on �Philosophical vs. Racial Discrimination�. Marcus emotionally shared the story of how three of his paintings were selected by his city�s PR director for their Black History Month display in City Hall. Two days later the city manager and attorney ordered the removal of Marcus� paintings from the display because of their quote �religious themes�.
�

As president of the city�s arts and historical center, Marcus found himself in an extremely awkward situation. He and his wife Mary have invested four years volunteering and building the failing center into a vital asset to the community. Marcus was ready to ask the city to assist them in purchasing a new larger location. Marcus feared that confronting the city on the banning of God from the public square could jeopardize all that they had worked to achieve.
�

Marcus sought counsel from his semi-retired minister father, Dr. Lloyd Marcus, Sr. �My dad reminded me of the scripture that if we deny God among men, He will deny us�. Marcus realized that the issue was larger than him.
�

February 2006, Marcus became the eye of the storm in a worldwide Freedom of Speech controversy. Media and talk radio across the U.S. and as far as Japan and Australia covered Marcus� story. Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit on Marcus� behalf for the re-installing of the paintings. The city rescinded.
�

Marcus rejected advice by some to sue for damages and the baiting of the media to trash his city�s leadership. Marcus felt such behavior would taint the victory for Christianity and Freedom of Speech. Marcus spoke at the �War on Christians & the Values Voter In 2006� Conference sponsored by Vision America. Singer, songwriter, artist, commentator and activist Lloyd Marcus is fighting the war on Christianity.
