Highly recommend Jacob Lawrence's "Migration Series," if you haven't checked it out before. Powerful and beautiful art in that series (which you can find online).

Schools should have it for many kids. Whom have questions.😊

[@karo2950]

Thank you.

[@chrisfinch8637]

You can never go wrong with art like this, created by certain and talented black artists. It’s stories like this, that need a lot more recognition and respect.

[@marydonohoe8200]

Thrilling. I only wish I could see the entire exhibit in person.

Stunning exhibition and I wish I could be there

[@AntonioCostaRealEstate]

Not to sound like a homer, but I swear I spotted a Rugendas and a Debret, and maybe a Portinari in this collection. Thanks for remindingt the Exhibit started in São Paulo, Brazil. My educated guess would be either a MASP or Pinacoteca venue. Once again, thanks.

[@ironyelegy]

very needed. hopefully we can stimulate empathy for black and brown bodies where it's needed most: amongst middle class white people

[@lewstone5430]

What about upper class people? Them too, right?

[@ironyelegy]

@@lewstone5430 not really, since the ultra wealthy pretty much subsist off of targeting middle class white voters. have you noticed who the GOP fleece first?

[@jagbrit3723]

And the working class, who form the majority, that are manipulated by politicians and longstanding twisting of the truths.

[@AntonioCostaRealEstate]

Maybe a Tarsila do Amaral ?

[@valeriareed7234]

An artist should have depicted the stigmatization of the supposedly freed people.........the continued oppression.......the denial of help.......the denial of Reparations.......

This Dream Illusionary World Is Coming To An END!!! You Are A Character in This Movie called "Life". You Are Taking This Imagination Play For The Real. YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOURSELF PLAYING THIS DREAM CHARACTER. It Is Time To Return To Being Your Real True Self Again!!!. WAKE UP SLEEPING SELVES!! This Movie Is Ending And You Must Return To Being Your Real True Self! Liberation From This Dream! Everything I have Created I Demolish! I Return To My Ultimate True State. Self Unification. Nonduality. I Am One With All. Know That This Earth Is A Sun In Dormancy with its Light and Heat Turn Off. This Earth Is Returning To Its True Nature, This Earth Is Returning To Being A Sun!! You Are NOT THIS BODY. YOU ARE NOT THIS MIND! You Too Are A Sun With Your Light Turn Off. And so are All the Deities, the Gods called the Aliens, The Ancestors, Angels Devils Satans, and whatever other names they called themselves. They are our Self replicates and our Masculine aspect of our self exploring this dream illusionary world disembodied magnetic masculine Duality Consciousness Beings. On the other hand we are the feminine and masculine Self exploring the Dream as Electromagnetic Beings wearing a body. The Cosmic Beings Known To the world as the Anunnakis are the Feminine and masculine Primal Light Self Manifest exploring the World Separated and fragmented in Duality. with their Lights turned off. They are our Supremes Selves in ignorance sleeping and dreaming up the Cosmos. It is Time To Return To Your Ultimate Truth, To Self Unification, To Non-Duality. Hail Hail To THe Primal Light. Hail To The Primal Light. Hail To The True Light. Hail To The Transparent Light. Hail To The Light Without Beginning Nor End. Hail To The Primal Light.

KZbin and Wall Street you guys wanna make a personal so be it I'm gonna involve the black race for my support team. Let's do it go. New day new play its on, let's see where we end up. Word is bond. I'm reaching out to my people beyond KZbin and going directly to the website. Black people racism is alive and well in American stock market and I can prove it.
