In this week's episode we talk about some history of protest art! We start with the 1968 "I Am a Man" protest signs that were used during the Memphis sanitation strike. How have similar signs and the same phrase been used by contemporary artists and activists? We then talk about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, in relation to the work of Tulsa artist Crystal Z Campbell. Finally we look at the protest and street art of Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, an artist originally from Oklahoma who has recently done work on Spike Lee's Netflix series, "She's Gotta Have It."
