Artist's Description
Jumping the Broom in the Age of the New Jim Crow, is a piece created by the world’s most prolific prisoner-artist, Donald "C-Note" Hooker. "I was asked if I could draw a broom for a prison wedding ceremony and I decided to do one better. I decided to create a work on paper so large that the bride and groom could actually jump over the piece," says C-Note. "For the uninitiated, the broom represents the traditional enslaved, Black American wedding ceremony. The broken handcuffs are represented in the style of manacles of that era. They’re broken to represent the end of slavery of that period and the soon-to-be hope for end of black mass incarceration of this era. Since I created my first piece, I have been receiving requests from other African American couples to do this same piece for their prison-weddings."
