Malcah Zeldis:Civil Rights Movement Artist




Malcuh Zeldis is not an extremely well-known artist however, her thoughts were the same as most of the most influencial artists during that time period. She did start painting in 9174 after most of the Civil Rights Movement had been completed but everything that she painted was symbolic of mutualism. She showed paintings of blacks and whites in the same place, together, in unity. That was her vision as was it for many others like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.




Her painting, Peaceful Kingdom, is her idea of an utopian society and is very similar, still, to others views. This image creates a sense that we can live in harmony and it's no matter about our skin color; only our personalities.
