&lt;div&gt;There's a time where some symbolic racial stereotypes shapes how American act to African American, and one of the stereotype that shapes it is '''Mammy''', Mammy is the most well known and enduring racial caricature of African American women. The Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University has more than 100 items with the mammy image, including ashtrays, souvenirs, postcards, fishing lures, detergent, artistic prints, toys, candles, and kitchenware. Many version of this mammy stereotypes were made and recreated whether its to hide some historical plot, or basically entertainment. From slavery through the Jim Crow era, the mammy image served the political, social, and economic interests of mainstream white America. During slavery, the mammy caricature was posited as proof that blacks -- in this case, black women -- were contented, even happy, as slaves. Her wide grin, hearty laugher, and loyal servitude were offered as evidence of the supposed humanity of the institution of slavery.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/mammies/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Blind-side-poster-564x840.jpg|thumb|right|The Blind Side Poster]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Blind Side''' is a biographical sports drama film made in 2009 which written and directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lee_Hancock John Lee Hancock] based on the 2006 book &amp;quot;The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game&amp;quot; by Michael Lewis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118001814.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It tells the story of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Oher Michael Oher], an American football offensive lineman who overcame an impoverished upbringing to play in the National Football League (NFL) with the help of his adoptive parents Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy. It stars Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy, Tim McGraw as Sean Tuohy, and Quinton Aaron as Oher.&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The Blind Side&amp;quot; depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0878804/plotsummary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
In the film, Oher is characterized as someone with little football experience and drive. Leigh Anne Tuohy, on the other hand, appears to be Oher’s constant inspiration in the movie — the one who pushes him to become a football star. The controversy this film had is coming from Oher himself that saying “film deliberately left out his athletic past in the previous schools he attended, thereby robbing him of his own hard work and determination as an athlete.” And Despite the hardship, Oher describes himself as having a huge personality with a big laugh — totally unlike the quiet, reserved, loner character of Mike in The Blind Side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While playing Offensive tackle for the Ravens, Titans, and then the Carolina Panthers, Oher felt the movie had a surprisingly negative effect on his football career. Too many people were focused on his Blind Side backstory, rather than his athletic career. On Super Bowl Media Day in 2013, Oher was quoted saying: “I’m tired of the movie. I’m here to play football.” Not only that the man hate about the film, this film feels like pointing out the superiority of white people and how nice they are out there, which other race is not.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mclaytoncomedy.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/this-movie-sucks-the-blind-side-2009/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Black Empower==&lt;br /&gt;
Besides all the racial controversy of the film had, it have message that make us motivated and think about the importance of family support. The fact that Oher is finally a successful man after all his hardwork and endurance throught the hardship makes it more inspiring for black race.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.andalusiastarnews.com/2009/11/27/the-blind-side-full-of-positive-messages/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However in the present time, Oher has more or less changed his tune on The Blind Side. Per Oregon Live: “Oher has come to terms with the fact the movie will always be a part of his life,” and he now gives the movie a thumbs up. “It’s a great story,” the man who inspired The Blind Side acknowledged. “It’s helped so many people across the world. It inspired so many people. You’d be surprised how many letters I’ve gotten, people have adopted kids or how many lives have changed.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-blind-side-what-the-2009-movie-got-wrong-about-the-real-story.html/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Black like me.jpg|thumb|right|Book Cover]]&lt;br /&gt;
Black Like Me, first published in 1961, is a nonfiction book by white journalist John Howard Griffin recounting his journey in the Deep South of the United States, at a time when African-Americans lived under racial segregation. Griffin was a native of Mansfield, Texas, who had his skin temporarily darkened on purpose by a dermatologist in New Orleans to pass as a black man. He traveled for six weeks throughout the racially segregated states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia to explore life from the other side of the color line. Griffin kept a journal of his experiences; the 188-page diary was the genesis of the book. When he started his project in 1959, race relations in America were particularly strained. The title of the book is taken from the last line of the Langston Hughes poem &amp;quot;Dream Variations&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1964, a film version of Black Like Me, starring James Whitmore, was produced. A generation later, Robert Bonazzi published a biographical book about Griffin, these events, and his life: Man in the Mirror: John Howard Griffin and the Story of Black Like Me (1997).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Like_Me&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Black Empower==&lt;br /&gt;
The book help people to understand more by closing the gap of racist segregation between black and white people, after his book was published, Griffin received many letters of support. He said they helped him understand the experience while saying: &amp;quot;There were six thousand letters to date and only nine of them abusive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;p. 184&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Nell Irvin Painter says: Fifty years after its publication, Black Like Me remains a remarkable document. John Howard Griffin changed more than the color of his skin. He helped change the way America saw itself.&amp;quot; The primary reason why &amp;quot;Black Like Me&amp;quot; still speaks to us from a distance of 50 years is because it resonates by its true topic which is not about race but humanity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/black-like-me-50-years-later-74543463/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1964, while stopped with a flat tire in Mississippi, Griffin was assaulted by a group of white men and beaten with chains, an assault attributed to the book as a form of its criticism. It took five months for him to recover from the injuries. Griffin became a national celebrity for a time. In a 1975 essay included in later editions of the book, he recounted encountering hostility and threats to him and his family in his hometown of Mansfield, Texas. He moved to Mexico for a number of years for safety.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/oct/27/black-like-me-john-howard-griffin&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Black like me.jpg|thumb|right|Book Cover]]&lt;br /&gt;
Black Like Me, first published in 1961, is a nonfiction book by white journalist John Howard Griffin recounting his journey in the Deep South of the United States, at a time when African-Americans lived under racial segregation. Griffin was a native of Mansfield, Texas, who had his skin temporarily darkened on purpose by a dermatologist in New Orleans to pass as a black man. He traveled for six weeks throughout the racially segregated states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia to explore life from the other side of the color line. Griffin kept a journal of his experiences; the 188-page diary was the genesis of the book. When he started his project in 1959, race relations in America were particularly strained. The title of the book is taken from the last line of the Langston Hughes poem &amp;quot;Dream Variations&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1964, a film version of Black Like Me, starring James Whitmore, was produced. A generation later, Robert Bonazzi published a biographical book about Griffin, these events, and his life: Man in the Mirror: John Howard Griffin and the Story of Black Like Me (1997).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Like_Me&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Black Empower==&lt;br /&gt;
The book help people to understand more by closing the gap of racist segregation between black and white people, after his book was published, Griffin received many letters of support. He said they helped him understand the experience while saying: &amp;quot;There were six thousand letters to date and only nine of them abusive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;p. 184&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Nell Irvin Painter says: Fifty years after its publication, Black Like Me remains a remarkable document. John Howard Griffin changed more than the color of his skin. He helped change the way America saw itself.&amp;quot; The primary reason why &amp;quot;Black Like Me&amp;quot; still speaks to us from a distance of 50 years is because it resonates by its true topic which is not about race but humanity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/black-like-me-50-years-later-74543463/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1964, while stopped with a flat tire in Mississippi, Griffin was assaulted by a group of white men and beaten with chains, an assault attributed to the book as a form of its criticism. It took five months for him to recover from the injuries. Griffin became a national celebrity for a time. In a 1975 essay included in later editions of the book, he recounted encountering hostility and threats to him and his family in his hometown of Mansfield, Texas. He moved to Mexico for a number of years for safety.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/oct/27/black-like-me-john-howard-griffin&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Bessie Inspire a lot of black musician especially in blues, teaches us about pride, humble and strong mental in chasing dreams no matter how negative act of racism she confront. some of it is when Bessie makes her own opportunities.

&lt;div&gt;[[File:10000BlackMenNamedGeorge.jpg|thumb|right|Theatrical Poster Release]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''10,000 Black Men Named George''' was a 2002 award-winning, made-for-television movie, not a documentary. With gripping and skillful direction, writing and acting, the movie not only brought to life the 12-year organizing struggle (1925–1937) for the first all-Black union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. It captured the power, savviness and complexities of Black men and women fighting for higher wages, better working conditions and dignity on the job against a company and a racist class system stacked against them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10,000_Black_Men_Named_George&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
Asa Philip Randolph, a Black journalist and socialist trying to establish a voice for these forgotten workers, agrees to fight for the Pullman porters’ cause and form the first black union in America. Livelihoods and lives would be put at risk in the attempt to gain 10,000 signatures of the men known only as “George.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/10000-black-men-named-george/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Black Empower==&lt;br /&gt;
The film underlined the crucial role of Black workers and Black communities in the fight for economic justice and the struggle against racism which could be the new spirit to fight for Black Lives Matter. One of the most engaging and relevant scenes in “10,000 Black Men Named George” comes when Totten seeks out Randolph to convince him to lead the organizing drive for an independent union. Randolph asks Totten “Do you think America is ready for a colored union?” Totten’s answer encapsulates the Black freedom struggle for the last 400 years. Totten responds, “I don’t think America is ready for anything. Unless we make them ready.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
At the beginning of the film, there's a scene where they point out a stereotypes about white women using their whiteness and femininity as a weapon against Black men. The racist trope that Black men are somehow a threat to or dangerously attracted to white women has been reproduced among white men and women through the generations. As the film begin, a white woman passenger doing something illicit, stealing Pullman towels, which is witnessed by a white-jacketed Black porter. In the advanced, and sometimes dangerous, calculus of white women/black men relations, the porter has to figure out what to do. Say something or not. He will get docked pay for missing Pullman property. When porter talk to her, the woman call the conductor and accuse porter for threatening her and demands protection, which leads to firing.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://medium.com/an-idea/10-000-black-men-named-george-927fa9c1d1ed&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not only is the porter being ripped off by the company and losing wages but the larger racist codes are at work in the workplace. Social and economic dynamics confront Black men and women in the workplace on an hourly basis.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[File:Tom and jerry with mammy hitting tom.jpg|thumb|left|Mammy Two Shoes hitting Tom the Cat who's chasing Jerry the Mouse]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tom and Jerry is an American animated franchise and series of comedy short films created in 1940 by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hanna William Hanna] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Barbera Joseph Barbera]. Best known for its 161 theatrical short films by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer] Studios. Tom and Jerry join a long and growing list of old favourites that are suddenly denounced for failing the test of contemporary sensitivities. This is the cue for an argument that cuts through attitudes like a cheese wire: mirth and derision at political correctness on the one hand, and agonised uncertainty from everyone else.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/02/tom-and-jerry-racism-diversity-modern-storytelling&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
the series centers on the never ending friendship and rivalry between the titular characters of a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Many shorts also feature several recurring characters. Which one of them is [https://blackwiki.org/index.php?title=Mammy_Two_Shoes Mammy Two Shoes]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry#Mammy_Two_Shoes&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
Considered having a very good cartoon animation, there are some black stereotypes shown in the series as part of the comedy, which is considered controversial for many. On Amazon and ITunes, The Complete Second Volume is accompanied by the caution: &amp;quot;Tom and Jerry shorts may depict some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American society. Such depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.com/news/education-29427843&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; .” In 1949—when being politically correct meant supporting segregation—the NAACP began protesting the studio over Mammy Two-Shoes. By the 1980s protests by groups representing communities of color against the lack of representation and a tide of misrepresentation became routine. Soon, talk in entertainment company boardrooms shifted from defusing demonstrations to discussions of how to address the nation’s changing demographics. They wanted to pivot toward “emerging” and “underserved” populations without losing their core white suburban audiences.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://slate.com/culture/2014/10/tom-and-jerry-racist-of-course-warning-on-amazon-and-itunes-is-appropriate.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In “Casanova Cat” and “Mouse Cleaning,” two episodes from 1951 and 1948 has obvious race references that had previously been censored on broadcast television, were cut from the collection. “Casanova Cat” features Tom wooing a glamorous female feline by darkening Jerry’s face with cigar smoke and making him do a minstrel dance. And in “Mouse Cleaning,” Tom uses his “blackface” to trick Mammy Two Shoes. There are also plenty of other outdated stereotypes in “Tom and Jerry” to be pointed out.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thedailybeast.com/is-tom-and-jerry-really-racist&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Detroit is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_film Period] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_film Crime Drama] film directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Bigelow Kathryn Bigelow] and written by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Boal Mark Boal]. Based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algiers_Motel_incident Algiers Motel Incident] during the Detroit's 1967 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot 12th Street Riot], the film's release commemorated the 50th anniversary of the event.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_(film)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/movies/2016/06/21/movie-detroit-riots-1967-kathryn-bigelow-mark-boal-algiers-motel/85830068/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film opens with an animation and text depicting the Great Migration during World War I. After World War II, African Americans had been moved to segregated communities, including Detroit, which contained a mostly white police force. Change was inevitable. It was only a matter of how, and when.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 23, 1967, the Detroit Police Department staged a raid on an unlicensed club during a celebration for returning black veterans from the Vietnam War. While suspects are being arrested, a mob forms and starts throwing rocks at the officers before looting nearby stores and starting fires, beginning the 12th Street Riot. With state authorities, elected representatives, and even emergency services unable to maintain any semblance of order, Governor George W. Romney authorizes the Michigan Army National Guard and President Lyndon B. Johnson authorizes Army paratroopers to enter Detroit in order to provide assistance. On the second day of rioting, two cops pursue a fleeing looter. One of them, Philip Krauss, kills the man with a shotgun against orders, but is allowed to remain on duty until his superiors can decide whether to file murder charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1967. The police and black inhabitants of Detroit seem perpetually in a state of conflict, largely due to the police's biased, heavy-handed attitude towards African-Americans.

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Detroit teaser poster.jpg|thumb|Theatrical Poster Release]]&lt;br /&gt;
Detroit is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_film Period] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_film Crime Drama] film directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Bigelow Kathryn Bigelow] and written by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Boal Mark Boal]. Based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algiers_Motel_incident Algiers Motel Incident] during the Detroit's 1967 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot 12th Street Riot], the film's release commemorated the 50th anniversary of the event.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/movies/2016/06/21/movie-detroit-riots-1967-kathryn-bigelow-mark-boal-algiers-motel/85830068/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film opens with an animation and text depicting the Great Migration during World War I. After World War II, African Americans had been moved to segregated communities, including Detroit, which contained a mostly white police force. Change was inevitable. It was only a matter of how, and when.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 23, 1967, the Detroit Police Department staged a raid on an unlicensed club during a celebration for returning black veterans from the Vietnam War. While suspects are being arrested, a mob forms and starts throwing rocks at the officers before looting nearby stores and starting fires, beginning the 12th Street Riot. With state authorities, elected representatives, and even emergency services unable to maintain any semblance of order, Governor George W. Romney authorizes the Michigan Army National Guard and President Lyndon B. Johnson authorizes Army paratroopers to enter Detroit in order to provide assistance. On the second day of rioting, two cops pursue a fleeing looter. One of them, Philip Krauss, kills the man with a shotgun against orders, but is allowed to remain on duty until his superiors can decide whether to file murder charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1967. The police and black inhabitants of Detroit seem perpetually in a state of conflict, largely due to the police's biased, heavy-handed attitude towards African-Americans. This comes to a head when the police raid an unlicensed black club, causing the local residents to riot. The State Police and National Guard are called in and Detroit starts to resemble a war zone. On a fateful night, the local police round up some suspects at the Algiers Motel in connection with (what they believe is) sniper fire. The police handling of the situation soon gets out of hand.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5390504/plotsummary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;Forever Free&amp;quot; is an art album created by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ray_Charles Michael Ray Charles] in his first exhibition. An African-American painter that born in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafayette,_Louisiana Lafayette, Louisiana]. He won Rome prize back in 2018. in his work Charles explores African and African American oppression and prejudice. He is best known for work that appropriates derogatory images in order to disparage racist stereotypes. His graphically styled paintings investigate racial stereotypes drawn from a history of American advertising, product packaging, billboards, radio jingles, and television commercials.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://landmarks.utexas.edu/artwork/forever-free-ideas-languages-and-conversations&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Charles draws comparisons between Sambo, Mammy, and minstrel images of an earlier era and contemporary mass-media portrayals of black youths, celebrities, and athletes—images he sees as a constant in the American subconscious. “Stereotypes have evolved,” he notes. “I’m trying to deal with present and past stereotypes in the context of today’s society.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://flatbed-press.myshopify.com/collections/michael-ray-charles&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pros==&lt;br /&gt;
He encourage and support black people through art about culture in history of America by expose and spread consciousness in racism history. Charles explain in one of his interview: &amp;quot;They are about the negative stereotypes that African-Americans still buy into - the minstrel and the mammy-' and how they are updated, and (hidden in new images). These images are about the racial stereotypes that white people created and perpetuate, rather than knowing African-Americans as (elaborate) individual human beings. Charles says 'that the negative images about African-Americans are hiding throughout American culture, just below the surface, on TV sitcoms and cartoons of every vintage and in advertising and sports.'  He didn’t invent them, and he is not single handedly perpetuating them. The images that Michael Ray Charles paints are not to confuse people, he is not creating these stereotypes. He is trying to seek and create an understanding' among all people. While many have criticized him for this, some have applauded Charles for his daring questioning. For example, director Spike Lee has spoken of the artist’s work as “cinematic&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;His works are one-sheets, posters for movies that Hollywood would never have the nerve to make, exploring race and sex in this country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.caareviews.org/reviews/3707#.X-lUeBYxWUk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Charles’ aggressive use of racial stereotypes has often been at the center of controversy and misunderstanding. In a 1999 ARTnews article, Charles once explained, &amp;quot;Every time I have a show there are some black folks complaining.&amp;quot; However, his blunt approach to his artwork suggests that he wants to elicit strong emotions from viewers.

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Open Casket.jpg|thumb|&amp;quot;Open Casket&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Open Casket''' is a painting that made in 2016 by  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Schutz Dana Schutz]. Subject in the painting is a 14 year old boy named [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till Emmett Till] who was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States Lynched] by two white men in Mississippi in 1955. This artwork was included at the 2017 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_Biennial Whitney Biennial] exhibition in New york curated by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Y._Lew christopher Y. Lew] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_Locks Mia Locks]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Casket&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The painting was made by Dana schutz in August 2016 in response to media coverage of gun violance to a black man from police. The potrait is based on a photograph of Till's mutilated body-- where his mother insisted for the casket to remain be opened, to raise awareness of the graphic realities of racism in the U.S. that was published in The Chicago Defender and Jet magazine. &amp;quot;The photograph of Emmett Till felt analogous to the time: what was hidden was now revealed&amp;quot; Schutz told in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artnet Artnet]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Not long after the publicity in the opening of 2017 Whitney Biennial. The painting caused controversy within the protest and calls for painting's destruction. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Black Hannah Black] who is an artist and a writer, posted an open letter to the museum's curators and staff to Facebook that saying:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I am writing to ask you to remove Dana Schutz's painting Open Casket with the urgent recommendation that the painting be destroyed and not entered into any market or museum. As you know, this painting depicts the dead body of 14-year-old Emmett Till in the open casket that his mother chose, saying, 'Let the people see what I've seen.' That even the disfigured corpse of a child was not sufficient to move the white gaze from its habitual cold calculation is evident daily and in a myriad of ways, not least the fact that this painting exists at all. In brief: The painting should not be acceptable to anyone who cares or pretends to care about Black people because it is not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun ..&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The act led to a conversation in the media on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation cultural appropriation] by white artist. On the comment about how and why the painting was made, Schutz responded:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I don't know what it is like to be black in America but I do know what it is like to be a mother. Emmett was Mamie Till's only son. The thought of anything happening to your child is beyond comprehension. Their pain is your pain. My engagement with this image was through empathy with his mother. ... Art can be a space for empathy, a vehicle for connection. I don't believe that people can ever really know what it is like to be someone else (I will never know the fear that black parents may have) but neither are we all completely unknowable.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a comment about the relationship between her painting and the photograph of Till, Schutz reportedly said, &amp;quot;The photograph of him in his casket is almost impossible to look at. In making the painting, I relied more on listening to Mamie Till's verbal account of seeing her son, which oscillates between memory and observation.&amp;quot; On another occasion Schutz also said: &amp;quot;The painting is very different from the photograph. I could never render the photograph ethically or emotionally.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Open Casket.jpg|thumb|&amp;quot;Open Casket&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Open Casket''' is a painting that made in 2016 by  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Schutz Dana Schutz]. Subject in the painting is a 14 year old boy named [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till Emmett Till] who was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States Lynched] by two white men in Mississippi in 1955. This artwork was included at the 2017 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_Biennial Whitney Biennial] exhibition in New york curated by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Y._Lew christopher Y. Lew] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_Locks Mia Locks]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The painting was made by Dana schutz in August 2016 in response to media coverage of gun violance to a black man from police. The potrait is based on a photograph of Till's mutilated body-- where his mother insisted for the casket to remain be opened, to raise awareness of the graphic realities of racism in the U.S. that was published in The Chicago Defender and Jet magazine. &amp;quot;The photograph of Emmett Till felt analogous to the time: what was hidden was now revealed&amp;quot; Schutz told in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artnet Artnet].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Not long after the publicity in the opening of 2017 Whitney Biennial. The painting caused controversy within the protest and calls for painting's destruction. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Black Hannah Black] who is an artist and a writer, posted an open letter to the museum's curators and staff to Facebook that saying:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I am writing to ask you to remove Dana Schutz's painting Open Casket with the urgent recommendation that the painting be destroyed and not entered into any market or museum. As you know, this painting depicts the dead body of 14-year-old Emmett Till in the open casket that his mother chose, saying, 'Let the people see what I've seen.' That even the disfigured corpse of a child was not sufficient to move the white gaze from its habitual cold calculation is evident daily and in a myriad of ways, not least the fact that this painting exists at all. In brief: The painting should not be acceptable to anyone who cares or pretends to care about Black people because it is not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun ..&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The act led to a conversation in the media on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation cultural appropriation] by white artist. On the comment about how and why the painting was made, Schutz responded:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I don't know what it is like to be black in America but I do know what it is like to be a mother. Emmett was Mamie Till's only son. The thought of anything happening to your child is beyond comprehension. Their pain is your pain. My engagement with this image was through empathy with his mother. ... Art can be a space for empathy, a vehicle for connection. I don't believe that people can ever really know what it is like to be someone else (I will never know the fear that black parents may have) but neither are we all completely unknowable.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a comment about the relationship between her painting and the photograph of Till, Schutz reportedly said, &amp;quot;The photograph of him in his casket is almost impossible to look at. In making the painting, I relied more on listening to Mamie Till's verbal account of seeing her son, which oscillates between memory and observation.&amp;quot; On another occasion Schutz also said: &amp;quot;The painting is very different from the photograph. I could never render the photograph ethically or emotionally.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2017, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_Museum_of_American_Art Whitney Museum] partnered with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Rankine Claudia Rankine] and the Racial Imaginary Institute to host &amp;quot;Perspectives on Race and Representation,&amp;quot; to address the debate sparked by the painting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2017, the painting and the surrounding issues were discussed on BBC Radio 4's ''Analysis''.&lt;br /&gt;
