For my Heroes Project, I am going to draw Harriet Jacobs, a person who was able to successfully escape slavery. The concept behind my drawing is going to be able to try to prove to people of why and how Jacobs is a hero. The way I am going to do this is that I am going to draw a person (in particular Harriet Jacobs) running down a long pathway, in order to symbolize the long journey she had to overcome. While running, Jacobs face will be turned over her shoulder, with a blank expression to show how dramatic her experience was. Behind her will be a long, broken chain to represent that she was able to escape the horrible nightmare of slavery. Lastly, in front of the long road will be two roads that diverge into two different pathways, and on one of the roads there will be an exit sign that will say "Exit Freedom". Beyond the exit sign will be New York (which was one of the city's back then that was considered a Free State). The landscape on the side of the road will change from a rural scenery to a urban environment.
