@bisabutler 🔥 If We Must Die an excerpt from the poem by Claude McKay 1889-1948 If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursèd lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! In honor of the Black people who have been unjustly slain. #breonnataylor #ahmaudarbery #georgefloyd #michaelbrown #tonymcdade #sandrabland #shukriabdi #ericgarner #freddiegray Zouave, 2020 **there is no paint on this artwork* The Zouaves were of the most decorated units of the French army who came from north, west and East African French colonies. The Zouaves were used on the front lines of WWI and suffered heavy casualties in France while still being under colonial oppression at home. This was inspired by photo of a likely Senegalese soldier in Paris in 1915 Cotton, silk, wool and velvet, quilted and appliquéd, 54” x 88” Private collection *the fabric on his pants is called Kofi Annan’s Brain after the former and late UN Secretary General known for his brilliance. #SupportBlackArt #BisaButler https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTPrTHh1AX/?igshid=vh3743fotj1b

It’s difficult for me to put words into how I’m feeling, but I have a duty/obligation to use my platform and voice. I don’t have the answer, nor do I feel the most educated on the subject, but I do know I can be a part of the catalyst that sparks more awareness and attention to this conversation. 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼 - Below is a caption I’ve seen others posts that I feel connected with as well as a short guide for safely protesting. - I have privilege because I can do all of these things without thinking twice: I can go birding (#ChristianCooper) I can go jogging (#AmaudArbery) I can relax in the comfort of my own home (#BothemSean and #AtatianaJefferson and #BreonnaTaylor) I can ask for help after being in a car crash (#JonathanFerrell and #RenishaMcBride) I can have a cellphone (StephonClark) I can leave a party to get to safety (JordanEdwards) I can play loud music (JordanDavis) I can sell CDs (AltonSterling) I can sleep (AiyanaJones) I can walk from the corner store (MikeBrown) I can play cops and robbers (TamirRice) I can go to church (Charleston9) I can walk home with Skittles (TrayvonMartin) I can hold a hair brush while leaving my own bachelor party (SeanBell) I can party on New Years (OscarGrant) I can get a normal traffic ticket (SandraBland) I can lawfully carry a weapon (PhilandoCastile) I can break down on a public road with car problems (CoreyJones) I can shop at Walmart (JohnCrawford) I can have a disabled vehicle (TerrenceCrutcher) I can read a book in my own car (KeithScott) I can be a 10yr old walking with our grandfather (#CliffordGlover) I can decorate for a party (#ClaudeReese) I can ask a cop a question (#RandyEvans) I can cash a check in peace (#YvonneSmallwood) I can take out my wallet (#AmadouDiallo) I can run (#WalterScott) I can breathe (#EricGarner) I can live (#FreddieGray) I CAN BE ARRESTED WITHOUT THE FEAR OF BEING MURDERED (#GeorgeFloyd) White and white passing privilege is real.
