An Artist Protests in a Telling Way 2019 America

The America Prospect has interviewed artist Eastaban Whiteside. Esteban is a self-taught artist who has done a whole series paintings and drawings of his feelings of Mr. Trump and the direction our country is going. I recommend you reading this article and study his fine and telling work. He is an African American  feeling like a stranger in his native land.

What he doesn't realize is that you don't have to be a person of color to feel like an outsider these days. This is supposed to be a United States. Our Constitution talks about liberty and justice for all. Of course we have always had great divisions and strong opinions about many things--but our current President does not seem to understand that part of his calling is to be the President for everybody.
