friday - ROOTS

This week’s entry, roots, brings to mind the history and heritage captured in the song, Strange Fruit. Pictured in surgical scrubs from left to right are Kenn Bivins, Saul Williams, and Cornel West who have made significant gains in cutting the noose of negativity that is unfortunately rooted in African American history.

Actually, Kenn Bivins has done nothing for African American history but draw funny pictures but the two men to his left are people he greatly admires. See the full color version of this rendering at kennbivins.com.

In both subject and style, this is one of the best Illustration Friday entries I’ve seen so far.
