Here again "Mother Earth" is typified in a state of mourning with her hands over her head, in typical Ghanaian fashion, deploring political assassinations, intrigues and all forms of violence. The original of this piece is in the Africa Room of the Kennedy Centre, Washington, DC. (shown above) and was inspired by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
