#kathleencleaver painted on wood panel Acrlic ,oils, and spray paint. Her activism and #jetmagazine cover are some of my favorite moments in history ! #blackhistorymonth #blackpantherparty

One of the greatest minds of all time ! #JamesBaldwin ! This series will be hanging up at #StjosephsColllege in NY ! Painting I created on wood panels All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up. -James Baldwin- #blackhistorymonth

Portrait I painted of the Legendary #GordonParks. “I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have a camera.” – Gordon Parks . Peep @photodre @beewalker_

One of my favorite pieces that I've ever created "shower your seeds with the right seeds" I collages a cloud of activists raining seeds of knowledge and Revolution down on a child. I want to do multiple Mira's based on this painting that I made . ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 "listen to the kids bro!" Very relevant today more than ever where kids are being clouded by ignorance and hate !

My piece in Brooklyn on Putnam and Malcolm X !!! This piece embodies everything going on now! It's a Native American kicking trump out of the country !! For the pipeline , for the refugees , for his injustices towards women's rights .. You have no right I don't care if you're president !! You disrespect our natives our women and are shaming this land of the FREE!!!!!!! 🖕🏽✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I didn't learn about Angela Davis (happy belated birthday ) and Maya Angelou as a kid ... But I've been painting them since the day I learned I love painting .... This is about 7 years old .... Let's #resist and show true activism against injustice like these iconic Women!!!!!

When #debbiereynolds (above) found out her daughter died ... A piece of her couldn't be alive any longer. She died the next day .. #carriefisher #princessleia below! I had to paint them. I don't have kids but I couldn't imagine this loss.. A piece of you .. Debbie was iconic and her daughter played a more iconic role ..
