CONCEPT:

Theodore R. Johnson?s powerful essay outlines the history of the Black voting bloc in the US that, for decades, has mostly voted in favor of candidates who best represent a continued fight for their rights. To represent this diverse, but ultimately unified voice, we commissioned letterpress artist, Amos Kennedy Jr., to create a poster asking and answering one of the main questions put forward in the piece.
