Deaf President Now Artwork is to celebrate DPN that happened in March 1988 when Gallaudet students protested the appointment of a hearing woman over 2 deaf male candidates. The protest lasted a week and attracted a lot of media attention. It was considered our first Civil Right movement in Deaf Community.
This artwork is made of almost 100% wood, featured 4 student leaders (Tim Rarus, Bridgetta Bourne-Firl, Greg Hlibok and Jerry Covell) during DPN with backs to DC skyline.
