Scope and Contents

Paula Scher's drawing for an article by Matt Bai illustrates his essay about the racial implications of the firing of Shirley Sherrod, an African American Georgian bureaucrat. The drawing of the word RACE is scrawled, black and calligraphic over a barely visible red drawn RACE and horizontal lines that reflect the emotions of the political incident. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
