Portrait of women from the Young Lord's organization inspired by the photography of Michael Abramson. Photographs that depicted women at the forefront of the movement were selected with the goal of conveying the roles women assumed in building the organization and defending its best highest aspirations. Contrasting black and white pigment, with tinted and stained newspaper-like collage seemed especially well suited for portraits of these oft-forgotten women.
