We are beginning a new feature here at the ljsj chronicle called the art of social justice. We will regularly be posting photographs and other visual depictions of social justice. What constitutes the art of social justice? I have no idea. If you think you know what the art of social justice looks like, post your photograph or artwork to our flickr group, or email it to ljsjart@yahoo.com. Many of our featured photos can be seen in our past Art of Social Justice flickr gallery.
