Battle for Justice, Kira Tucker
Memphis, Tennessee
United States
Grade: 7
Art Dimensions: 8½" x 11"
Art Description/materials: Colored pencil on paper
Artist's Statement: The drawing shows the Little Rock Nine’s “walk to justice” led by Elizabeth Eckford while she was surrounded by a mob of mind controlled people. It changed our world. The message I want to communicate through this piece is that studying an important event in history, such as this one, teaches you a lesson that can be applied to life today.
