Abstract
The continuing struggle for racial equity in America, a social reality currently all too visible in the media, has made the MoMA exhibition of Jacob Lawrence’s 60 works especially poignant and relevant. The exhibition, retitled One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North, ran for six months between April and September in 2015. Most of the conflicts depicted in Lawrence’s small scale (12” X 18”) casein tempera on hardboard artworks tell the recurring story of historical de jure segregation and contemporary de facto prejudice and discrimination against people of color.
