Your #Panel61

The story of our migration is ongoing. What does #Panel61 look like to you?

In the final, 60th panel of The Migration Series, Jacob Lawrence leaves us with the words “And the migrants kept coming.” Today, more than 70 years later, Lawrence’s epic narrative continues to have powerful reverberations.

My #Panel61 depicts a story that was true in the past and is still very much true for the present. In this scene, you will see a man who has been lynched by a white man. You will also see a black man fleeing the scene on what could be a road or sidewalk. This being said, the same reasons that this man is fleeing the South during the Migration are the reasons black people are fighting today. It may be under different circumstances - lynching or shooting - but the man or person being killed still has no other mark against them other than being black. But being black is not a crime and until this world understands that the unlawful killings of minorities will continue.
