JRP Connections: Enslavement and Art

How have artists responded to and drawn inspiration from topics related to American slavery (or slavery in general)?  I know you've been wondering!  Well, here's one artist who has created 52 pen-and-ink and tempera drawings on rice paper, featured in his book The Middle Passage: White Ships/Black Cargo.  His name is Tom Feelings and this book is beautiful.  We happen to have it in the FSHA Library.  In fact, it's part of the JRP display, so come take a look.
