  • Vote or Die headline on a poster to encourage African Americans to vote in the democratic primary on 3rd March 2020 in Selma, Alabama, United States. Voter suppression is rife in Alabama: a report from March 2020 by the Southern Poverty Law Centre shows that it is difficult to register and to vote, especially for African Americans. Alabama and its Governor Kay Ivey deem the vote as a privilege to be protected rather than a right for all. It is feared that voter suppression will be a key element of Trump’s campaign in the 2020 elections.

  • Sign with a train with Homer Plessy Freedom printed on it on 26th February 2020 at Homer Plessy Community School, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. In 1892, a mixed-race man named Homer Adolph Plessy boarded a train and defiantly sat in the whites only section. He was arrested when he refused to move. He appealed the law that mandated his ejection, and his case eventually made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices there not only ruled against Plessy, but issued a now-notorious opinion that established the separate but equal doctrine, which served for more than half a century as the justification for legal segregation in almost all aspects of American life.

  • Although we see the arms and bodies of three young African American men jumping high for a basketball, there is a fourth arm trying to make contact with the ball as all four males leap high at the basket ball net which has just bounced off the ring, scoring no points. We see the face of one black man whose white teeth and silver-coloured necklace shine in the sunshine. He looks up to watch the other hands fight for the ball’s possession as the teams battle for supremacy. In the background is a mural painted on the court’s wall showing a running dribbling basket ball player who seems to be leaping over the head of one player in the foreground. There are large tattooed deltoid shoulder muscles and masses of energy on show in this scene of ultimate determination and desire to win.

The US tobacco company Philip Morris manufactures this brand and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, those living in former eastern-bloc nations created a vast new market that opened up potential income for the ambitious cigarette industry - just as it has in China and African countries. In this town square, people pass-by and sit in cafes before the three women take their product to the masses, handing out free cigarettes to tempt smokers and perhaps future smokers.
