Inspired by a Nov 2019 New York Times article titled “Surviving Droughts, Tornados, and Racism”. The article follows the Bridgeforth family, and discusses the difficulties that they, as well as other African-American farmers, have faced throughout history, and still battle with everyday. My painting is of Nicholas Bridgeforth, who is the family’s 5th generation.
