Just Us

Original 24"x 30" Oil on canvas

This painting depicts a contemporary young lady, still blind, expecting fair treatment in a fight for justice for minorities.  Justice, in its broadest sense, is the concept that individuals are to be treated in a manner that is equitable and fair. In this country, it has not been extended to minorities, as laws were made to declare Blacks as chattel and 3/5 of a human, and other minorities as subhuman, not deserving of fair treatment.  Unfortunately, in America there is a division of attitudes toward the treatment of minorities, both negative and positive. It is a war of ideals and very political.
