FEATURED RELEASE

 " The Right!!! "

by Kevin A. Williams (WAK)

(click on the image above for additional details)

	"The Right" depicts a black man attempting to vote, despite various attempts to stop him. 
He is not angry. He is not fearful. He is determined. He will not be stopped. 
 
	
Those who forget the past are destine to repeat it.  
	
Much blood was shed to give us "The Right" -- lest we forget!
 
	
 
       

IMAGE SYMBOLS

* 1965- The year the voting act was passed

* 3/5- Up until the 1960 census, African Americans were deemed only 3/5's human.

* Blood on the Ballot- Self explanatory, don't you think?

* Faded American Flag- The flag  is faded in the background, because The Constitution was ignored during the ugliest time in America's history.

* White Paint Drips- Symbolizing the tears of the flag, crying from shame.

* White Hands- The well-known oppressive tactics of lynching and mind control were failed attempts to hold us back.

* Black Hands- Symbolizes the crabs-in-the-barrel mentality, as well as those who worked hand in hand with oppressors to keep us down.

* Writings throughout painting- On November 4, 2008, Kevin took the original painting to a voting location in Atlanta, GA and had voters write their thoughts about the election.
