Digital Art:
As we look for submission(s) from each of our MLS readers, we trust their work will not see the world, the characters, the experiences from a perspective of black or white. Our world is not black or white, either/or. It is both/and. This painting is entitled “He Sees Only Black and White,” representative of a world view held by too many.
