Artist's Description
A lot of articles have been written about why the name of the bridge spanning the Savannah River between the city and Hutchinson Island needs to be changed. Simply put: many feel it endorses white supremacy and ignores the obvious painful affront to Savannah's majority African-American population and its larger progressive diverse community.
During a 2016 "Span the Gap" initiative advocating for the change, a reporter named Janet Leigh Lebos asked for my input on the issue. The following is from her articled published in CONNECT SAVANNAH News Weekly:
"Well, thus far it seems because the will of Savannah’s citizenry has been thwarted by the intimidation ploys of a few bullies—tactics familiar to Eugene Talmadge, who used them to oppress and abuse anyone he didn’t like. That’s what we’re memorializing unless we support our elected officials in getting this done already—not next session, not next election cycle.
"'It should not be necessary in 2016 to sta...
About Aberjhani
I was born and raised in the southeastern United States, then spent many years, while pursuing my education and serving in the U.S. Air Force, traveling around America and the world. Much of story is told in recent book releases like Greeting Flannery OConnor at the Back Door of My Mind and Dreams of the Immortal City Savannah.

DANNY LOWE
Outstanding photo and I totally agree with your comments. It is difficult to see how far ahead in the future 2016 was compared to what we are seeing now that some of our own leaders feel emboldened enough to feel so free to make racist comments and show their true feelings. Maybe 2016 was not all that enlightened. They probably had their racial beliefs all along because a leopard doesn't change its spots.

Aberjhani replied:
Thank you very much Swedish Attitude Design. This would not have been possible had the city not just survived a hurricane and the sky retained such thick cloud coverage.

I was actually surprised when it turned out that way MG. But then decided it works because of the "hot-button" issue surrounding efforts to change the bridge's name.

Very interesting chromatic effect. The sky looks like it is on fire.
