The Knee of America
2 minutes and 53 seconds. Racism did not end with slavery. None of us are free until we are all free.

Powerful piece. Well done.
Oh this is incredible! I did one around the same subject, but yours just packs a bigger punch and is all the better for it. Powerful and amazing stuff, Rachel! Well done!
Amazing interpretation! "Crippling family trees" is so surreal. Loved it! and definitely hearted!
Wow, incredible.
You have me all choked up again. I came out (during COVID) to march in the streets with an overwhelming portion of our Citys people, after George Floyd died. It was such a powerful experience being there, surrounded by so many caring people, and of course it was very sad. Many hugs, words and physical turnout cannot repair. ♥️♥️♥️
WOW. I'm speechless. This is so powerful, and you did this masterfully. 🥹❤️
❤️❤️❤️
