oil paint on canvas stretched on wood frame; 16 x 20. Civil rights legends Nina Simone (musical artist) and James Baldwin (literary artist) are caught in a moment of mirth, with ghosts from the civil rights era — Memphis sanitation strikers carrying “I Am A Man” signs; Emmitt Till, who was brutally tortured and killed in Mississippi; Elizabeth Eckford ignoring verbal assaults as she desegregates Little Rock Central High in Arkansas. (price includes shipping; add 15% for shipping outside the USA)
