About: On our artwork, we have “no” print all over. We have one of the gallows and a man (John Brown) getting hung. We have mountains and flowers. The whole background is blue. We are symbolizing John Brown and his journey to Harpers Ferry. Frederick Douglas, in his speech, says “He may not have ended the war that ended slavery, but he did start the war that ended slavery.”
