Keith Brymer Jones Jane Foster | Mugs & Cups^Jane Foster – Ceramic Mug – Rosa Parks – 360ml

“I lived in the US for a year when I was a child and that is when I first learnt about racial inequality. As a student studying in Manchester, I joined the Anti-Apartheid movement and regularly took buses down to London to attend rallies. Rosa Parks was named the ‘mother of the freedom movement’ many years earlier and to me, has remained an iconic figure representing racial equality. Her courageous act of refusing to give up her seat on a bus for a white man got her arrested. A bold reminder of how hard times were then but sadly, also a reminder that racial inequality still exists now.” Jane Foster
