He does this by introducing the Model T as a divine provision: “It was the miracle God had wrought.” The Model T was more than a vehicle; to White, “it was hardworking, commonplace, heroic”, these qualities influenced those who were fortunate enough to own one.…

This work begins to question our previous knowledge of the slave trade and forces us to look at the story from a perspective that as a society we may not want to acknowledge.

Often we are taught slavery from a Western perspective; we discuss how America prospered from the industry and how devastating the institution treated the individuals it captured.…

    1. Figure 4.3, Going Home by Jacob Lawrence. This piece was created in 1946, and was painted with gouache, which is an opaque type of watercolor.
