Antiracist Ancestors by Nancy Sampson
“The debut issue of “Antiracist Ancestors” features Sarah and Angelina Grimké, white sisters born in the early 1800s, who rejected slavery and left their wealthy family’s South Carolina plantation to become Quakers and abolitionists.
This outspoken duo publicly discussed and published ideals that were ahead of their time. I hope that everyone enjoys the Grimké sisters story and that they inspire everyone, but particularly white folx, to continue on in the fight for racial equity and justice.” -Nancy Sampson
Drawing is Nancy’s favorite way to express ideas and tell stories. Even when her line art is enhanced with watercolor or collage, drawing is always the central feature of the finished piece. She aims to create work that inspires curiosity, delight, and thoughtfulness.
