Abstract A summary of the resource. It is about Black Men who were victimized by our society especially by oppressor and police. Even though Black Men have their hands up but there is always someone trying to hold them as if they are trying to do something to a person who is not a threat. The white light shaped image on the right reflects the light on the person... who is visibly using excessive force. The gun (ASL sign ) shows on the head ...It shows that someone trying to use the weapon to harm others but that abstract person connected to the gun is hiding behind the shadow (on left part of the image). It shows that in life Black person got killed and the person who did it was never caught or ignored. In my mind of Black person, there is an abstract sign..."Black"...with the thought of being victimized just because of their skin color. The head of black man in the picture shows that he was watching the person who brutalized him.
