I had been hanging on to the concept for this piece for quite a few years before I felt free enough to put pen to paper and create it.  Pictured is an interpretation of the Lady Justice statue wearing a white klan hood to represent the disproporitonate incarceration rate and sentence severity of black Americans when compared to white counterparts who commit similar crimes.  The AR-15 she holds is meant to symbolize the attitude of black unrest compared to vigilante justice.  The scales hold a noose on one side, and money on the other.   The noose clearly symbolizes the vigilante justice and lynching practices that were used in post-slavery America until as late as 1981.  The money symbolizes the modern method of suppressing non-whites by limiting opportunities to accumulate generational wealth through systemic discirminatory policies. 
This pieces is drawn on 10 x 14 Arches 100% cotton drawing paper in black ink.
