In some ways, the exhibit’s “Living condition” is similar to mine. I like how they discuss the introduction. They keep the introduction brief and to the point, and they go into detail about their writing. racism and mistreatment of black people following the flood, segregation they were placed in a poor community They did not, however, use any type of art or visual for the group introduction to give the reader an idea of what they were talking about. Visual art is very important in creating a good exhibition. Before reading The Living Conditions exhibit, I had never heard of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, which devastated the African American community.which killed 350 people and left nearly 1 million people without a place to live, and the government did little to help those people because Africans were seen as less than because racism was on full display at the time. I like Maira’s art because it accurately depicts the message she is attempting to convey, such as how the flood affected the African American community and how desperate they were for assistance, as evidenced by the long lines of people. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning about the history of the event and the struggles that some people faced in that location.
