Answer:
freedom person is a bit of a tricky subject. Here in the United States, we have a 240-year history of celebrating on July 4 our independence from Britain, but not everyone has felt included in that freedom. An African American artist friend of mine was asked to create a visual to be used as a poster for the centennial of the Statue of Liberty, one of our symbols of freedom. Juxtaposed against the statue, she placed a teary-eyed young black man, clearly disappointed that he hadn’t experienced the full promise of freedom. The committee reviewing the submission rejected her artwork because it didn’t represent its ideal of freedom, and yet I have always been deeply moved by the piece. It elicits a desire to gain a more inclusive view of liberty.
