Not being American I didn't have a clue what this was about at first...I thought I was just being dense cos I couldn't figure out the meaning behind your imagery...but now I've read the article so it all becomes clear!...I can see why it p***s you off..if i was black and American it would me too I guess.

Good imagery btw.

The opinion is depicted in such a clever way, this is automatically going to my fav artworks list. Seriously, very well done.

The message unfortunately is not one I can identify with as I am white, grew up in a multi-cultured environment. So I never understood the divisions in man. (Until I moved from NY to NC *yak*)

As part of the military I see EO (equal opportunity) events for every observance possible. Black, Native American, Women etc....

But come to think of it...yup those events only for the alloted time like it's a damn block to check off... A damn shame, as I wish America has the same passions for causes today as Dr. King and his followers had during their fight for equality back then.

I think as time goes on, and the older folk that run Congress, the media etc...die off, the younger generations will revamp the perspectives of the country.

Reminds me of my favorite quote that's at the bottom of my PM's here:

"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live. "
Martin Luther King Jr., Speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963

great

I had to read the site to untherstand what this was about. It doesn't really stand on its own I guess (cept maybe if you've got a bit more background info...cause i hadn't heard of a black history month), but with the article it becomes very clear.
With the quote/statement "Black history should be celebrated all year, not just in February"(from the article) in the description, it would be easier to untherstand this picture, but then, it isn't really a mutch work to follow the link
Really a strong picture that shows very clearly what your point is.
Why is Februari so small? it's only three days shorter than any other month right?
well done

Good depiction of the concept. Well done!

Powerful message invoked here, however there seems to be a hidden message within the image. I can only ponder if the artist is even aware of it. Nice job.
