A unique study of civil rights struggle in the North in the 1940s

A long-hidden story not previously written about

A sympathetic story as jobs, housing, and economic stability become scarce

Ben Shahn, an artist of the Social Realism art movement important in the U.S. during the Great Depression, made a series of poignant drawings for Harper’s Magazine to illustrate the 1947 Hickman murder trial. Currently on exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, we aim to include Shahn's drawings in "People Wasn't Made to Burn."
