"The Triumph"24x36 digital painting with acrylic embeleshment
This piece marks the embarkation of a new era within American History .
It is the embodiment of the Dream fulfilled
Martin Luther King Jr. once quoted
"To be a Negro in America is to Hope against Hope"
Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid
psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means
having your legs cut off, and then being condemned for being a cripple. It means seeing your mother and father spiritually
murdered by the slings and arrows of daily exploitation, and then being hated for being an orphan."
Although 44 years later we still have reoccurring social issues of inequality and injustice we have taken a triumphant step as a nation. no longer is the American dream an intangible object.
No longer do African Americans have to dream of an illusive ancient land of ultimate prosperity and stature. Together President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have resurrected a new precedence, a new Sanguine for all of America and have instilled that Hope in us all once more.
