Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A collection of artworks charting the crises in race relations in Britain goes on display in Sheffield.
The powerfully defiant pieces were created by the Blk Art Group, a body formed in 1983 by young black artists struggling to get recognition because of their skin colour.
Against the backdrop of discrimination, the Blk Art Group spoke out on canvas, documenting their struggle and raising awareness of black British art.
Using a diverse range of materials, from straw to newspapers, the group created bold and iconic pieces, many of which have been little seen until now.
The collection will be on display at Graves Gallery, Surrey Street, Sheffield from 27 August until spring 2012.
