The sheer moral force of all these images makes the
show exceptional in our confused and callous times. Stunning posters present a wide range of human-rights issues from the past and the present, representing the worldwide struggle for social justice. Racism and sexism are emphasized because they are too often overshadowed by the more dramatic images of torture, mass arrests, and political assassinations that are reported daily in the press. Yet racism and sexism are even more insidious violations of human rights: not only do they result in illegal activities, but also in the more subtle and daily dehumanization of women and people of color.
