July 4th, 2025 – Tameka Art

Happy 4th of July, everyone!
This drawing is one of my favorites. Not just for how it looks, but for what it means. To me, it represents the American dream at its best.

Two people, side by side:
A son of an oil executive, and a daughter of a working-class family.
A Republican, and a Democrat.
A descendant of slave owners, and a descendant of slaves.

Different backgrounds. Different stories. But still—they stand together as friends. Because unity is not about being the same. It is about choosing respect, empathy, and hope, especially when it is not easy. This is the kind of freedom worth celebrating.

George Bush and Michelle Obama
