In a new exhibition about incendiary art commenting on current affairs, the work of everyone from Herblock to Kerry James Marshall is brought to light

In 1997, Chicago-based artist Kerry James Marshall made a painting called Memento, showing a black woman holding a vase of flowers at a memorial, which reads: “We Mourn Our Loss.”

An elegy to the civil rights movement, there are the painted faces of Martin Luther KingJr, John F Kennedy and Malcolm X, as well as angels with wings, depicting the group of girls killed in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, civil rights activists and the Black Panthers who died between 1959 and 1979.
