Kwame Braithwiate

 First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy Black History Month! Today I would like to discuss an African American photographer/activist name Kwame Brathwaite.

Freedom from Want

  Today, I am going to discuss Freedom from Want by Norman Rockwell. It also known as Thanksgiving Picture o r I'll Be Home for Christmas . It was part of Rockwell's Four Freedoms series.  Growing up until now, I have seen this painting on ads during Thanksgiving and Christmas time. There have been so many parodies of this classic, American painting. Even 2020 has been a rough year, this painting has been created during World War II. Another rough time in history. This painting reminds of what the holidays is all about. It is about sharing, caring and loving. Happy Holidays!
