Justice for All

I thought about the theme for the “2024 Art of Soul!” exhibit and I feel that “Justice for All” reflects Black Joy within Social Justice. I felt overjoyed in having a black woman sitting on the Supreme Court but disappointed in the confirmation process that Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had to endure. My intent in “Justice for All” was to capture the trials and tribulations that black women have tolerated for so long in this country and to see it play out in a public display for the world to see was confirming. It was truly inspiring to see Mrs. Ketanji Brown Jackson come out on the other side of such ignorance with great poise and dignity. Having a black woman residing on the Supreme Court has been a long time coming for Social Justice; and, although it has been a long journey as a nation, we still have more work to do. It is my hope that as a society, we look towards the future with a promise to do better to correct the social injustices of our past.
