Description
Amazing Grace is a portrait of a Black woman, with a backdrop of apparent arches or wings which on closer examination are actually cutaway images of the slave ships that brought her ancestors to the Americas. Through her shawl, we can see traumatic ancestral pressures that affect Black people's vision of their lives America. Yet, like the slave ship captain turned abolitionist who wrote the hymn "Amazing Grace", the descendants of those enslaved people try to make this a better world.
