Togetherness for Peacefulness
Helen Resmer, Grade 9
This piece is inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The peace sign in the audience represents that hopefully one day, everyone, despite the colour of their skin, will be able to stand together and appreciate each other's differences. People should never have to feel like an outsider based on something they cannot control. Hopefully, people, like Martin Luther King said, "will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Violet King
Mave F-P, Grade 9
The Black Canadian that I chose to draw was Violet king who was the first Black female lawyer in Canada. I made sure that Violet was the main focus and I made it my job to include the colour Violet somewhere in the price so I added it in the name with watercolour, and to fill in the background I added yellow to tone down the whole piece and unify it.
