Art

This piece shows many different sides to the story that is slavery. In the center, we see these slaves as the normal human beings they were. However, these people are surrounded by the terrible images that made up thier everyday lives. One image is of a slave auction and the terrible, emotional moment of a family being torn apart. Another image is of a slave being whipped, like they were nothing but an animal. This piece is a heartbreaking group of scenes that I am sad to admit was part of my country's history.

There is hope though, portrayed on the other side of this art piece. The family is seemingly reunited and there is punishment for the slave driver. This was not the normal case however, but a dream. I can only hope a few families got this satisfaction at one point during the slave days.
