vimeo.com/103678910  - ‘Am I Next?': Ferguson’s Protests Through the Eyes of a Teenager



I made this drawing over a week ago but never found enough time to scan and post it. It's not an especific person. For a couple of days I thought about what I could write on the background but I trashed that idea.
I don't know if you have read or heard about what's been happening in Ferguson (if you haven't, I strongly suggest you do, and check out the links posted above), but after reading about yet another story of a person of color that is shot and killed and then has the value of their life put into question by the media... I needed to draw something. Because I can't help but admire the bravery of every black boy who refuses to hide away and disappear, even when the world tells them again and again that their lifes don't matter. And all of the people who chose to resist police brutality and speak out against racism.
