Unique large unstretched canvas -that you can stretch directly on a wall, created by artist Btoy for Street Art for Mankind's 2017 Miami festival to raise awareness on child labor and trafficking across the world. Artwork also exhibited at the United Nations as part of the Street Art for Mankind #UN-JI Exhibition.

“Slavery in USA” is based on a picture from photographer Lewis Wickes Hine (1873 – 1940). It represents American activists fighting child slavery in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century.
Hine was the photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NLC), an organization dedicated to the abolition of all child labor, formed in 1904. By publishing information on the lives and working conditions of young workers, it helped to mobilize popular support for state-level child labor laws. These laws were often paired with compulsory education laws, which were designed to keep children in school and out of the paid labor market until a specified age (usually 12, 14, or 16 years.)
