The ability to transfer an idea, concept, theme, or notion from the abstract depths of one's mind onto the rich whiteness of a canvas is indeed, a unique one. It is a gift that one is born and blessed with. The capability to sketch, draw and paint has been a part of human civilization since the dawn of time. From the moments of the first primitive man who carved roughly on the coarse walls of the cave he probably called home to the diverse technological art forms that exist today, graphic design has been the very foundation upon which all this has been built. The term "graphic" owns its heritage to the Greek word of "Graphikos" and engages in the composition of symbols, signs, logos, line art, geometry, and other visuals.

In "The Meaning of the Fourth of July for the Negro" (1852), Frederick Douglass addressed many of the same issues as Martin Luther King in his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" (1963), specifically the right of blacks to be included in the United States as full and equal citizens. Both were addressing a white audience that they hoped would be sympathetic to their cause, especially white Christians who had often been indifferent to the situation of blacks and failed to live up to the highest principles of their faith. In addition, they referred to the founding documents and principles of the United States, which promised liberty and equal rights for all, yet had been conspicuously disregarded in the case of blacks. Douglass did not believe that slavery would not end without violence, and supported the Civil War when it began in 1861, while King hoped that blacks could win civil rights through nonviolent means. He did not reject these principles even though the movement took a more violent and nationalistic turn after 1965 and he was assassinated three years later. Douglass did not die a martyr in this way, although he did live long enough to see most of the gains blacks had made during the Civil War and Reconstruction erased by the time of his death in 1895.
