The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife - this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves to be lost…He simply wishes to make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an American without being cursed and spit upon by his fellows, without having the doors of opportunity closed roughly in his face.]]> 2017-07-08 01:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/klgr07/ots2elg8eclt/wish/178290271 klgr07 https://padlet.com/klgr07/ots2elg8eclt/wish/178290388 In this painting Lois expresses the hardships of Africans and their movement towards equality and identity in the United States.]]> 2017-07-08 01:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/klgr07/ots2elg8eclt/wish/178290388 klgr07 https://padlet.com/klgr07/ots2elg8eclt/wish/178290630 In this painting you can see white and black laborers working among each other.
