Unicorn Riot | Award-Winning Illustrator EB Lewis Presents on His Life, Art, and Illustrations | 4K @UnicornRiot | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
"I'm documenting and making statements about our society, social injustice." That's the mission that drives E.B. Lewis, an award winning illustrator, artist, visual storyteller, educator and father of three from Philadelphia. He's taught for nearly four decades, has illustrated over 70 books for children, and has art galleries in France.
During a visit to Minneapolis, Lewis gave an hour-long presentation to an audience on the northside and sat down with Unicorn Riot to speak about his path to becoming one of the most important contemporary American watercolorists. "I am a Black artist, but I don't look at my work as such."
While visiting Minnesota in 2023, Lewis immersed himself in community, showing up at youth programs and speaking at an event on the Northside hosted by the youth-serving non-profit WE WIN Institute. He said he was asked "what did he see" when looking at the children, "I see me," he replied. Lewis said he's been an educator, teaching illustration for over 38 years.
During a presentation to the community, Lewis described the different mediums in which he produces art and how he immerses himself in researching the subjects that he's representing in his art.
This is his full presentation.

![Descendants Honor 90th Anniversary of Ancestors’ Militant #Labor #Strike [Vertical Trailer]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lZQd7wDYAOQ/hqdefault.jpg "Descendants Honor 90th Anniversary of Ancestors’ Militant #Labor #Strike [Vertical Trailer]
Union members, labor leaders, and descendants of the 1934 Truckers’ Strike honor the 90th anniversary of the historic strike in south Minneapolis. Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/JA7LmaWMVwA
On July 27, workers, descendants of the strikers, and the local labor community came together at Wabun Park in Minneapolis to honor the 90th anniversary of the 1934 Truckers’ Strike that brought Minneapolis to a standstill and served as a spark for radical and militant labor struggle across the country.
The strike lasted about three months, as Teamsters Local 574 truckers demanded a fair wage and official recognition of the union. The trucking companies had the support of the Citizens Alliance, an anti-trade union organization that sought to break the strike. The strike’s impact reverberated throughout the city, bringing much of the Minneapolis economy to a halt.
After reaching an agreement, the trucking companies did not honor the terms and workers returned to the streets. On July 20, 1934, the Minneapolis police attacked and opened fire on picketers in the streets of the Warehouse District. Police shot 67 strikers and killed two, Henry Ness and John Belor. The deadly police attack became known as “Bloody Friday.” On July 24, 1934, about 100,000 people lined the streets to honor Henry Ness’ funeral procession in Minneapolis.
Unicorn Riot and Workday Magazine heard from two grandchildren of Henry Ness and other descendants of the 1934 strike during the anniversary. More: https://unicornriot.ninja/1934
