    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Four abstract face images are in the painting with the golden hand signing. Each hand shows a sign &quot;negro&quot; (from upper left), &quot;nigger&quot; (upper right), &quot;colored&quot; (lower left) and &quot;black&quot;(lower right). The hands are in abstract form. It is similar to cubism work in the past.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The abstract work is a reflection of what is in people&#039;s mind (not facing the hard core truth). It has 4 abstract images from different period of time which were never portrayed in the field of deaf arts. In earliest day, we were called &quot;Negro&#039;  as we were identified, based on our skin color and sold in slavery...as time goes by, we were called &quot;Nigger&quot; out of their despite and hate.  As the years go by we were called colored as we were equal but separated....not long ago, we were called &quot;Black&quot; as the certain people with all the mixed emotions (positive and negative). ]]></dcterms:abstract>
