This painting by William H. Johnson from 1939, titled "Chain Gang", depicts three exhausted African American men who are prisoners and forced workers.

While the colors are minimal, the bright background and sad colors on the prisoners represent the struggle for freedom during the Harlem Renaissance. The artwork powerfully illustrates the harsh treatment and injustice faced by African American men at that time through uncompromising realism.
