Biography: Jacquii Cooke is a 32 year old Black Poet from Oak Ridge, Tennessee. As Webmistress of Poetry in Color Forum, she is devoted to the more abstract styles, especially those with a strong feminine voice that center around the topic of redemption and righting the wrongs of past transgressions.

Europe Supported By Africa and America - William Blake
I just wanted to post this in the Artworks section too - cause I am really impressed by William Blake and his revolutionary artistry. For reference - I just finished posting a tribute for him (he's also an incredible Poet) in the Poet & Poetess Biographies section: William Blake (English Poet & Painter 1757 - 1827) --- At anyrate - without further adieu - I present to you Europe Supported By Africa and America - An illustration of an original engraving made by the visionary William Blake in 1796 ---


 Europe Supported By Africa and America (1796)
About Europe Supported By Africa and America
This illustrated version of the visionary Blake engraving offers colonial dialogue as a potential dance among equals. Blake was opposed to slavery and the bright gold bands on Africa and America are symbols of enslavement. "While one hand of Europe limply holds the rope that links the three continents, the other more rigorously grasps the hand of the African in sisterly equality. This was a dramatic innovation in the concept of the relationship between the continents, reflecting Blake's abolitionist perspective."

I think this quite extraordinary (the artwork itself is amazing) as it encompasses many concepts and disciplines. I never knew this or seen this before...so I am in awe and very happy you posted this...I learned something and will pass this on to my students.
