George W. Bush Presidential Center presents "The Continual Struggle: The American Freedom Movement and the Seeds of Social Change"
The George W. Bush Presidential Center will present "The Continual Struggle: The American Freedom Movement and the Seeds of Social Change" by artist, Brian Washington.
"The Continual Struggle: The American Freedom Movement and the Seeds of Social Change," a collection that was 13 years in the making, documents all phases of the civil rights movement, a pivotal time in America’s ongoing fight to eliminate segregation and other forms of race-based disenfranchisement. The 25-piece exhibit uses visual art as a way of educating, storytelling, powerfully recalling an era of protests against injustice and inequality.
Brian Washington is a world-class artist whose work mostly reflects our Nation’s struggle for equality and racial reconciliation. He’s also an attorney, arts advocate, and intellectual.
An earlier, 11-piece series on the same theme, titled "The Continual Struggle: The Civil Rights Movement – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," was acquired in 2003 by the Smithsonian Institution. Those pieces are now part of the permanent collection at the Smithsonian-affiliated National Underground Railroad Center in Cincinnati. The exhibit at the Bush Center will be made up of subsequent works.
