EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: ELECTION, 1876. He Wants a Change Too" is a powerful cartoon by Thomas Nast from 1876, aimed at criticizing the Democratic party and the Solid South for their violent and oppressive actions against African Americans during Reconstruction in America. The image depicts two men standing side by side, with one holding a rifle while wearing a shirt stained with blood. This symbolizes the violence inflicted upon African Americans in the South. The cartoon serves as a scathing commentary on the state of affairs during that time period. It highlights the urgent need for change and justice for African Americans who were facing discrimination and brutality under Democratic rule. Thomas Nast was known for his political cartoons which often addressed social issues of his era. In this particular artwork, he fearlessly exposes the atrocities committed against black individuals in an effort to raise awareness among viewers. This historical photograph captures not only Nast's artistic talent but also reflects an important moment in American history when racial tensions were high and calls for equality grew louder. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then, yet also reminds us of the work that still needs to be done to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all citizens regardless of race or ethnicity.
