(Free-Press-Release.com) January 17, 2012 --In the 1980's and 90's, Street Artist and Photographer Mike McNeilly created images that reflected the economic challenge that faced the American People.The artwork, "We The People", pictured a working class family together with the hope and belief that America will heal its financial wounds and become stronger. Large scale B&W silk screened "We The People" images were tagged and wild posted which occupied streets from Los Angeles to New York. McNeilly also has painted many SuperMurals that conveyed political and social themes from that period as well as today.
Twenty years ago, 1992, 10 million Americans were unemployed, the country faced record deficits, poverty and welfare numbers were growing. Family incomes were losing ground to inflation and jobs were being created at the slowest rate since the Great Depression. U.S. manufacturing industries were closing down and laying off tens of thousands of working class Americans.
In 2012, we are now at an even higher rate of unemployment and potentially a million families may lose their homes to foreclosure "We The People", is even more relevant today in America than it was over twenty years ago.
