Lark has created a visual tribute to the civil rights movement. His serigraph entitled “The March” captures the spirit of the times, revealing the vigor and determination of African Americans and their supporters to narrow the huge gap between American ideals and American realities. The central figure, firmly grasping his walking stick, marches resolutely toward the promised land; whether he arrives or not is unimportant. Those who follow him will continue their quest for freedom and opportunity. Their American flags, conspicuously displayed, signify that all Americans have a stake in this struggle and that the elimination of racism ultimately benefits everyone in a democratic society. Wearing the traditional clothing of a southern black sharecropper, the man reflects a more basic truth about the civil rights movement.
