"Beside Every Great Man..." "Beside Every Great Man..." is a depiction of three very familiar Civil Rights leaders; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X and Medgar Evers. They are in black and white while their wives are in color because this painting is actually about the wives. We can only imagine the day to day sacrifices that they had to make in order for their husbands to effectively and efficiently fight for equal rights. You know the old saying “Behind every great man is a great woman.”? Well I beg to differ...“BESIDE every great man is a phenomenal woman.”. I salute Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Mrs. Betty Shabazz and Mrs. Myrlie Evers. They made the ultimate sacrifice and gave the one they loved to the world. The original is 20" x 60", oil on canvas.
