Is this Right or Wrong? You be the judge...



Georgia based artist Vincent Sherfield was recently met with opposition after Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport displayed his artwork "Voter Suppression", a piece that displays a chained and blindfolded African American male attempting to vote as a guillotine hangs above his head. According to airport officials, several passengers complained that it was offensive which is why it was eventually removed. Sherfield wants people to look at his artwork and reflect on where we have been as a people, a culture and consider how far we've come as a society. The artwork was supposed to be displayed until January 4th as a part of The National Arts Program. Gospel Beat will continue to follow this story and will be bringing you an exclusive interview with Sherfield. Stay tuned!
