Después de la turbulencia de la revolución en México, se estableció una nueva relación entre el arte y el público, dando lugar a un arte que hablaba directamente a la gente sobre la justicia social y el potencial del activismo. Esta sesión explorará el profundo impacto que este modelo tuvo en los artistas africano-americanos en los Estados Unidos, inspirándolos a crear narrativas épicas sobre la historia estadounidense y la vida cotidiana y a usar su arte para protestar contra las injusticias económicas, sociales y raciales.
