"I have worked on the first panel and these are very rough sketches to give us an idea of the figure ground relationship. I used hippy chick grounds and they have a bit more of a cartoony effect if you want them more serious I think we need to go with a ground that is less happy decorative as per the middle drawing where the birds are coming out of the linear elements of the ground, I think it also says something a little more conceptual too. Of course these will require a lot more work as far as setting up to draw and I would do much bigger than a few inches tall."media/SPARC Thumbnails (1).jpgplain2023-12-06T22:27:20+00:00October 2022SPARC archivesGina Leonf0ac362b4453e23ee8a94b1a49fbeeafde2a0a49

In 1963, participants in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom symbolically buried him. Racial discrimination existed throughout the United States in the 20th century, but it had a special name in the South—Jim Crow.
