Descendent of a Slave, Still a Slave (Part 2)Two-Piece Composite, 2023

I’m a descendent from a culture of cruel capitalistic slavery—America carved my ancestors from the continent of Africa. The Motherland cried tears as her sons and daughters fell to imperialism and over the side of slave ships during the Atlantic slave trade. Despite political doublespeak and racist rhetoric written in the US Constitution, slavery still persists for my people—the poor, the darker, the prisoner, the slave.
