i wanted to post this...

primarily because of the social message that it portrays. I was given an assignment to create a short "comic book" style layout telling a brief story. I, being me (that makes sense, by the way, to those who know me), saw it as an opportunity to speak out against social injustice. I decided to tell the story of Mr. Amadou Diallo, an immigrant living in New York, who was gunned down unjustly from what was widely regarded as one of the most extreme public cases of racial profiling ever seen in America. Mr. Diallo was shot 41 times...he was unarmed.
