The Maafa: African Holocaust/Crucifixion Part I

Medium: Graphite; Color Pencil; Acrylic
Size: 20 x 30 Inches

Part one was created nearly four years ago. The idea came to me while enrolled in a African/Black Psycology class. In that class I learned so much about the effects of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

Part two came three years after the first one. Where in the first the figure was showing her whelp marks, now she is walking with a crucifix getting ready to be executed. In this one, her dreadlocks are longer and she is pregnant.
