Voices of the Revolution: woodcuts by Edith Kaplan. A portfolio responding to the civil rights movement with poetry & essays.

Artist Edith Kaplan was deeply moved by the Civil Rights Movement. She writes, "At the crescendo of events during the early 1960's, when Negro children were being exposed to the injustice and hatred of the society into which they were born, was a crisis from which none of us could run away. I had to commemorate the suffering of these children and the sacrifices of this generation through the tools at my disposal."
