Six years ago, yes, six years ago. That is how long ago we posted this online show organized by St Louis resident Jennifer McCoy. It was in response to events that happened in her city and were happening across the nation: the killing of unarmed Black men. More than a half-decade later, nothing has changed and more lives have been lost under the boots of and at the hands of brutal police officers. A number of works have sold since then and she’s updated the show with a few new pieces that are relevant to this moment.
A portion of these sales will be donated, per Jennifer’s request, to The Drip Community Coffee House, the first black female owned coffee shop in the Midwest, organizing for change.
