A chorus of names—Aunt, Spy, Moses, General—echo across this layered, artwork, intersecting with bold green ISBN numbers and soft geometric forms. A silhouette emerges quietly beneath a swath of yellow, evoking memory and presence. This mixed-media work on paper, created through letterpress, relief printing and collage, is part of the Forbidden Pages Collection: a response to the banning of Before She Was Harriet by Lesa Cline-Ransome, a children’s book that honors Harriet Tubman’s many roles and enduring legacy. Banned in Duval County, Florida, the book—and this artwork—champion the right to remember, to teach, and to resist.
