I used hair as a symbol and representation of culture in order to show the character accepting her culture. This piece is inspired the scene in the novel where Iola stands up for her race. "One day, during an interval in business, the girls began to talk of their respective churches, and the question was put to Iola:— "Where do you go to church?" "I go," she replied, "to Rev. River's church, corner of Eighth and L Streets." "Oh, no; you must be mistaken. There is no church there except a colored one." "That is where I go." "Why do you go there?" "Because I liked it when I came here, and joined it." "A member of a colored church? What under heaven possessed you to do such a thing?" "Because I wished to be with my own people." Here the interrogator stopped, and looked surprised and pained, and almost instinctively moved a little farther from her." https://lovesouthla.org/reunification Thu, 11 Mar 2021 03:33:43 +0000 Dear Iola, Love South LA https://lovesouthla.org/reunification Reunification Brenda Barrios 201213_12:00pm 1:52 King & Budlong #family #immigration #faith #daily life In this clip, I was inspired by the quote from chapter 20. I tried to recreate the memories running in Robert's mind while making a connection to immigration families being separated.
