About Artwork and Quote, from SCW:
Gene Pendon’s thoughtful tribute to the election of Barack Obama uses words from Pennsylvania single-mother Kiari Day to place this milestone firmly within the framework of the struggle for civil rights. It reminds us that much work remains if we are to bring freedom, justice, dignity and equal opportunity to all Americans.
This simple slogan movingly connects the past to the present, creating a memorable slice of people’s history. These three people are, of course, symbols for the millions of dedicated Americans who work tirelessly for justice and peace.
“Many of you have probably seen the Rosa Sat… quote circulating the web. We hunted down the originator of the quote, Kiari Day a single-mother living near Pittsburgh, and are paying her a royalty. I call it ‘closing the circle of justice.’” -Dik Cool, Founder SCW
About Syracuse Cultural Workers
Founded in 1982, SCW is a progressive publisher committed to peace, sustainably, social justice, feminism and multiculturalism.
Our mission is to help create a culture that honors diversity and celebrates community; that inspires and nurtures justice, equality and freedom; that respects our fragile Earth and all its beings; that encourages and supports all forms of creative expression.
SCW sees cultural work as an essential part of and support for political and economic change. Many of SCW’s materials celebrate movements for social change and their leaders, thus helping to legitimize history that is largely ignored or trivialized by commercial media and school textbooks. SCW also helps to unite socially concerned artists with a growing audience hungry for meaningful artwork.
