500 a| Published on the occasion of the exhibition Jacob Lawrence: the American struggle, organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, held at Peabody Essex Museum, January 18-April 26, 2020, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, June 2-September 7, 2020, Birmingham Museum of Art, Birmingham, Alabama, October 17, 2020-January 10, 2021, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, February 25-May 31, 2021, and the Phillips Collection, Washington, DC, June 26-September 19, 2021.;

520 a| In the mid-1950s, as Brown v. Board of Education felled the ideology of "separate but equal," the African-American artist Jacob Lawrence saw the need for a version of American history that reckoned with its complexities and contradictions yet was shared by all its citizens. The result was his monumental work Struggle: from the History of the American People. Lawrence developed the series of thirty panels, each measuring 12 x 16 inches, over the course of two years. Lawrence created the panels as history you could hold in your hands and intended to reproduce the images in a book that he never realized. The paintings depict moments in the American Revolution and the early decades of the American republic and feature the words and actions of founding fathers, enslaved people, women, and Native Americans. In the spirit of Lawrence's project, this collection includes brief interpretive texts written by teens in response to the Struggle series. This illustrated book features a chorus of thirty young adult voices expressing how Lawrence and his Struggle series speaks to them on a personal, emotional level. The young writers come from a variety of races and ethnicities, nationalities, religions, genders, sexualities, and abilities, and underrepresented voices. As Jacob Lawrence mined American history to reflect upon events he saw happening around him in segregation-era America, these young adults use these panels to comment on their experiences in today's America.;
