Civil rights movements USA by Liam Chase Studio in Meyerton

This expansive acrylic and airbrush work utilizes a radial "clock" composition to trace the pivotal moments of the American Civil Rights Movement. At the center of the wheel lies the "Jim Crow" era and the "Plessy vs. Ferguson" ruling—the core injustices that set the movement in motion. ​As the eye moves clockwise, the painting navigates through a visual history of struggle and progress: from the Selma to Montgomery marches and the leadership of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling and the integration of schools. Each "spoke" of the wheel captures a vital element—the right to vote, the Montgomery bus boycott, the Freedom Riders, and the demand for economic equality—culminating in the powerful imagery of the Black Power movement. It is a comprehensive study of a journey that moved the world forward, one hour at a time.
