The year was 1941. The United States was preparing to enter World War II, and it needed recruits. But President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced a problem. Hiring discrimination based on race was still the norm in the defense industry, but civil rights leaders were organizing for change. A. Philip Randolph—who had organized and led the first African-American labor union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters—was planning a march on Washington to pressure Roosevelt to open up the defense industry to blacks. But the president resisted. The Commandant of the Marine Corps, among other officers, was vehemently opposed. As the march grew closer—and under pressure from his wife Eleanor—Roosevelt conceded. On June 25, 1941, just a week before the march was set to take place, the president signed Executive Order 8802, prohibiting racial discrimination in the defense industry or in government. At last, all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces were open to African Americans.

DWR (Damion W. Rhodes) is a Self-taught contemporary-Avant-garde artist, ingesting the knowledge & techniques of Old Masters while studying the styles & techniques of newer artists, such as Roberto Ferri, Alpay Efe and France Van Stone. There are no limitations to his subject matter, experimenting with various styles along the way. Currently exhibiting works within the Cocoa Beach Art Association. Artist statement: I just create what I feel. There's not really much to say. Draw your own conclusions, just read the description and between the lines. I believe Warhol said it best: "Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” See more here: https://dwrartwork.wixsite.com/my-site https://www.cbaaartists.com/members-portfolios.html
