It would be difficult to imagine the course of American history without them: Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad; Rosa Parks and her brave refusal in 1955 to relinquish her seat on a Montgomery city bus; Fannie Lou Hamer and her courageous stand at a 1968 political convention. These stories of courage and commitment are among the many featured in Freedom’s Sisters, collaboration between Ford Motor Company Fund, the Cincinnati Museum Center, and the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES). The interactive exhibit showcases twenty extraordinary African American women, inviting visitors to bear witness to some of the most important moments in our nation’s history. The exhibition will open to the public at The Women’s Museum: An Institute for the Future, Saturday, April 24, 2010.

Rabb’s source is comic books for their inherent expressive visual language. Comics are seemingly simple because they are comprised of three major elements: the image, text, and sequence. Rabb removes the characters and text, leaving activated space, visual movement, and visual time gaps between planes.
