All images included are from Tasheka Arceneaux-Sutton's Black Lives Matter Too poster series. This series was an essay written and the cut out and weaved into each other to protest in line with the BLM movement. Arceneaux-Sutton had been invited to do a solo show, and the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two Black men killed by police, had influenced this series. This Is How They Still See Us was the first to be created, showing stereotypes and caricatures used to describe Black people post-Civil War. Her other posters make the names of other Black victims—including Trayvon Martin, Ezell Ford, and Sandra Bland—who have been killed by police. Within the works, there is text reminiscent of a newspaper article telling their background overlayed with ways people had said in attempts to justify the murders.
