Censorship: No Voice
“Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice.” – Henry Louis Gates Jr.
The suppression of expression, the suppression of artistic voices, or the voices attempting to share history as it is. From Critical Race Theory to the 1619 Project to Art deemed to be “controversial”, the list goes on and on. The threat of censorship, bans, and attempts to silence those sharing factual statements about Black History and US History in schools and the streets looms larger than ever.
Thomas Williams channels this sentiment in this work of art. In the background, you see scenes from the struggle African Americans have experienced in the United States to gain equality. The Black man in front wants to share their story but his voice has been silenced by US citizens who don’t want this truth shared.
He is fighting to remove this gag, this silencer, the censorship so that he can share his truth and speak this truth to power.
