America has not lived up to the ideals that it is based upon. Each advance has been followed by a retreat. Something is happening now that feels more viable.
Threat to Order
(Injustice in America)Leshia Evans stands still in the middle of a vacant street with police blocking any advance. She is a threat to order. She is protesting the murder of Alton Sterling by the Baton Rouge Police force that faces her. Her act of defiance is too much for this society to handle. Two police officers rush at her. She does not flinch. They arrest her for obstructing a highway. The highway the police themselves have barricaded.acrylic / 72 x 48 in
Remove that Flag
(Inspiration & Aspiration)Bree Newsome Bass removed the confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol building 10 days after a S.C. white supremacist killed eight members of a black church. She was immediately arrested upon reaching the ground. Her activism reminds us that confederate monuments and symbols continue to celebrate slavery and lend support to systemic racism.acrylic / 44 x 48 in
