"We arrived on slave ships. My labor was used to build the United States of America. I fought to free this country and then I had to fight for my own freedom. I survived and endured lynchings, racism, segregation, the flooding of our communities with drugs, mass incarceration, gentrification, police brutality and more. I paid my dues to be recognized as an American and for equality. My scars and bruises are the receipts. Yet through it all....here I am. A Black man. Still standing."
A limited edition release by K.A. Williams II that depicts a survivor. A strong black man wearing the bruises and scars on his arms (shaped as a star and sripe from the American flag) that he obtained in the fight for equality in America. The bottom of the artwork depicts the slave ships that he arrived to the shores of America on.
It serves a tribute to the strength, fortitude and endurance of African American men and through its lens, you can see some of our story—the experience of African Americans in this great country of ours.

WAK
WAK is an artist on a mission, but his is no solo trip: He wants to take you on the journey, too. His destination is a place where more African-Americans will appreciate, own and even create fine art that honors their rich heritage and hope filled destiny. So far, tens of thousands of people have willingly followed Williams to that vista – including talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, and actor comedian Bernie Mac. From celebrity homes to small businesses, corporate offices and women’s spas, Williams’ original and lithograph artwork hangs from coast to coast. In fact, his collection of 50 lithograph prints – created under the “WAK Artistry” signature – is the most widely circulated urban fine arts series in the nation. Diverse in their themes, the art is painted by Williams in mixed mediums, and then produced as lithographs in various limited – and broad – edition quantities.Most in stock items ship in 0 to 5 business depending upon the shipping method selected during checkout.
