Description: Artist: Shepard Fairey | Obey Giant Title: Voting Rights are Human Rights Measurements: 24 x 36 inches. Offset print on thick cream Speckletone paper hand signed in pencil by Shepard Fairey The Voting Rights are Human Rights print is a collaboration with photographer Steve Schapiro who documented many of the important civil rights protests in the 1960s. Steve and Shepard met at the opening of The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Montgomery, Alabama. As he looked through his numerous beautiful and powerful photos, they discussed the possibility of collaborating on the spot. Voting rights and racial equality were the focus of a mass movement toward a more just society in the ’60s. Unfortunately, insidious racism, which never went away, has given way to more overt racism, and voter suppression, often targeting people of color, and students, is on the rise. Democracy needs to work for everyone. Voting rights are human rights.
