In the wake of this week's tragic violence in Louisiana, Minnesota, and Texas, associate curator Thomas J. Lax offers a meditation on the power of image making as a tool for political intervention, and shares three works from our collection by contemporary artists that respond to anti-black racism. Read Lax's thoughts on works by Steffani Jemison, Kerry James Marshall, and Faith Ringgold.
