The Art of the Civil Rights Movement part 2

I have been working up what I wanted to post and finding the images that would support the messages.

Then I found this post from Artsper Magazine: https://blog.artsper.com/en/a-closer-look/10-artworks-that-defined-the-civil-rights-era/#:~:text=World%2Drenowned%20artist%2C%20Jacob%20Lawrence,during%20the%20civil%20rights%20era.

This article includes some very powerful images that helped to illustrate both the passion and the pain of the people fighting for their basic human rights. Below are two completely different types/styles of artwork but both show the people who were standing up for what they believed in. Peacefully demonstrating in an effort to gain equal rights, and the pain and damage that racism inflicts on everyone involved.
