34th Street Lost of Dignity, Monique Yates

Memphis, Tennessee
United States

Grade: 734th Street Lost of Dignity

Art Dimensions: 14½" x 11½"

Art Description/materials: Paint on board

Artist's Statement: I was inspired to paint this painting to remind people about Jesús Colón. He lost his dignity the day he did not help the woman and her three children off the subway. Jesús thought that he should not help the woman because of race. Jesús felt bad and never forgot about it.
