Antony, Caesar’s best friend, was not supposed to put down the conspiracy in any way, yet he indirectly found a way to get the people to oppo .....

.... object presents a sensitive subject. We are presented with an image of black women as helpless beings, and the only form of artistic expression available to them is their daily life. In the ordinary tasks of cooking, sewing, and growing food, tasks on which their survival depended, these women found a way to express the yearnings of the soul for hope and beauty, as well as the desire to be remembered.
