African American
women have always been at the lowest part of the totem pole. We have struggled
in almost every aspect of our lives since the start of slavery up until today.
The struggle for black women has become a little bit better, but is still not
great. In the poster there is a strong black women in the sky with lightning
surrounding her. The title of the poster is “The Struggle Continues” and
contains a W.E.B Dubois quote on it that reads, “There is no force more
powerful than a women determined to rise.” This alone explains the poster very
well because it looks as if the woman is rising and becoming a stronger woman
because of it. Her superpower probably relates to something along the lines of
becoming more powerful with the usage of lightning and her ability to fly in
the sky. The social issue that is portrayed in this poster is that even though
black women might be seen as lesser than we can still rise to the occasions and
be more powerful than ever. I chose to write about this poster because it
really spoke to me, with the use of the W.E.B. Dubois quote there to help
support the message. Also the title of the poster is written in a very eye
catching font that really caught my attention. The struggle is going to
continue to happen unless all us black women can become more powerful and have
determination to rise. By looking at a very powerful image such as this gives
me hope that it is possible.
