212 Slaves

5.5" x 8"

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, has been the source of much controversy over the years due to the frequent use of the word "nigger" and other racial slurs. In response to the news that a publisher will re-release the book replacing "nigger" with "slave", I've blacked out the entire text of the book with acrylic pen, except for the 212 instances of the word.
