I was at my friend's house right after we left the inauguration protest. We were all just sitting talking about what we had just witnessed, some of us were crying and then I stumbled across a video on my Facebook feed. It was donald trump, his sickly voice booming over images of police brutality and violence against black people during their fight for civil rights in the 60s.

This video was showing how we have in fact NOT gone forward socially, but backwards. The same racist words and cheers came out of his mouth just like in the 60s. The images were terrifying and REAL. Black people being terrorized and pushed and degraded at a Trump rally and then the same thing in the streets of their cities in the 60s.

This video served as personal, social, and educational function. It made me cry, it led me to mourn. I had just walked down the streets on DC, trumps voice booming in my ears "you will never be ignore again". The lies he spat tore me apart, so it impacted me quite a bit.

This particular art work reached me because the artist did a very good job of conveying emotion. It was impossible not to feel something while watching it.
