Collection

Post-Katrina Portraits, Francesco

Charcoal portrait of Common Ground volunteer from private liberal arts college. Text begins: "I came down to Common Ground because I wanted to be involved firsthand in a genuine struggle for social justice." Describes helping Miss Cherlynn, a resident of the Lafittte housing project, move her possessions from her perfectly salvagable apartment because "the government didn't want to help people."
