Jacob Lawrence was born in 1917 in New Jersey. He is considered to be one of the most prominent African-American artists. He was influenced by the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.
This is part of his sixty panel series called The Migration of the Negro, which became the turning point of his artistic career.
This is one of his narrative series titled Harriet Tubman.
Though his work specifically honors African-American social history and culture, it also conveys universally shared experiences of the struggle for freedom and justice for all people. His Builders series depicts men and women of different colors constructively working together.
