Your #Panel61 by Jonah Ward

My work represents the great migration by showing the modern day problem of police brutality and racial bias. I chose to highlight this issue because it has been circulated in our news for the last several years. As of late, it seems as if there is always a story on police brutality and the impact it has on the black community. It is apparent that this issue has instilled fear and division within our society. I chose to highlight this major issue by depicting the action with a minimalist approach. Straightforward and to the point.
