Piece #2 in the "Civil Unrest" series Running4URLIFE" 24 x36 mixed media on Canvas (1200) prints will be available. . . . The 1936 Olympics held in Germany included this Iconis figure Jesse Owen's of Ohio University. Owen's completely decimated the competition and embarrassed the Germans and Adolf Hitler and his thoughts of a Master Race. His victories were celebrated by All Americans as a true accomplishment but once the fan fair ended and Owen's returned home , because he was Black he was still just another Nigga and many Americans struggle with this constant Racism EVERYDAY. THE PARADOX of someone as iconis as Jesse Owen's being viewed as anything other than GREAT is a mindboggling idea and Him being Chased by the cops because he fits the description is a sad but yet all realistic concept that plays out time and time again. #jesseownes #1936olympics #civilunrest #icantbreathe #handsupdontshoot #activismART #stopracism (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqye0nBOuT/?igshid=tzsyqhjwpfm6
