CHOICE TWO: EARLY ABOLITIONIST ART

Explain whether you think an autobiographical or fictional account by a slave
(such as Phillis Wheatley and Olaudah Equiano) is more persuasive than a
biographical or fictional account by a white author (such as John Gabriel
Stedman or Aphra Behn).

Next, explain whether you believe the representations of slavery in the
visual arts (such as William Blake’s illustrations, William Hackwood’s cameo, or
John Singleton Copley’s painting) were more compelling and convincing of the
injustices of slavery than the literary representations already mentioned. In
your explanations, use specific examples and consider both audience and the
content and nature of the work. 

What art forms today are vehicles for taking action against injustice?
