This was a one-of-a-kind art piece created for the Manifest Hope Gallery show. Unfortunately, I don’t think that they are being mass produced.

a lot of poor folks for have enjoyed something like this to leave for our grandchildren and great grandchildren…..no profit. white folks always make money off of us. theres a white woman on antique roadshow with letters from louie armstrong…did he write his own folks or leave something for them….i’m not mad…just hate we can’t save a lot of history without a fat price.
