Hank Willis Thomas holds no punches when it comes to getting his point across. The piece above is from his “Branded Series” in which he takes an ad that you may see day in and day out and shows the underlining racism that is present. His Branded series is definitely one that makes you think whether you agree with it or not. He uses the comparison of the NBA trade to the slave trade showing the similarities with a mashup of ads and images. Definitely something to think about…..
