The ad that I remixed was a Wal-Mart advertisement that I found in the March edition of Essence Magazine. The ad was the hands of an African American man whose hands are folded and on his veins are 5 lines that are snippets of black history. The lines were very safe, Million Man March, Brown vs Board of Ed, Pro Baseball Integrated, MLK Birthday becomes a national holiday, and the Wiley Debaters. This image sparked an interest for me because my make-up is part African American. I decided to remix this image to show aspects of Black History that are not highlighted but are very existent in the fabric of my history.
