Description

(untitled on purpose. :))

"In the solitude of my spirit, I see clouds of dust raised on the highways of the south; I see the bleeding footsteps; I hear the doleful wail of fettered humanity, on the way to the slave markets, where the victims are to be sold like horses, sheep, and swine, knocked off to the highest bidder. There I see the tenderest ties ruthlessly broken, to gratify the lust, caprice and rapacity of the buyers and sellers of men. My soul sickens at the sight.
'Is this the land your fathers loved?
The freedom which they toiled to win?
Is this the earth whereon they moved?
Are these the graves they slumber in?' "

~an excerpt from My Bondage My Freedom "The Internal Slave Trade" by Fredrick Douglass

Much of humanity remains fettered; only--we have applied our own chains.




It was very foggy today.
I applied a 'chalk and charcoal' thingy over this image.
