Relating the World with "Suits": First Approach to Human´s Rights

What it’s done, it’s done. The only thing that we can do now it’s respect them and accept them as equals because that is what they real are. We are in the 21^st Century and last time I heard we were all humans.

Of course I’m talking about the relations between the white people and the black people and about the horrific actions of our (white people) ancestors.

If it was not enough that the black people had been forced to leave their countries to be slaves, they were discriminated for the following centuries, too.

Therefore, they started to get ways of express themselves like trough music (gospel, jazz...), writing (Maya Angelou, Largston Hughes...), painting and so one.

Romare Howard Bearden (1911-1988), an African-American artist, musician and writer, was one of those people. Trough literature, music and art, Bearden could fight for civil rights and he could show to people the life of the black people in America like in his collage “The Street” (1964) where Harlem street life through the eyes of Romare Bearden. He used the art to speak out against the limitation on Black artists.

During the 60s, he got more socially conscious and fought for justice and equality to the black people, helping to found an artist's group in support of civil rights and it was there that his artc became representative of the black people’s civil rights.
