This description From Sotheby’s when the original sold in 2019 for $1750000:

sothebys • Charles White's 'Ye Shall

Inherit the Earth' is among the artist's

most beloved drawings, embodying

White's social activism. The work depicts

Rosa Lee Ingram, an African-American

woman who became the subject of one

of the most explosive capital punishment

cases in American history in the late

1940s. Ingram and her sons were

accused of killing their neighbor, a white

sharecropper. Although they were

sentenced to death, the public outcry

was so immediate that they were instead

sentenced to life imprisonment. The

protest continued, and Ingram became

an icon as a key cause for social justice

groups. White drew this image, which

was later reproduced on a postcard and

sent to Ingram to assure her of the

efforts being made on her behalf. View

this work and more highlights on offer in

our Contemporary Art Evening auction

on 14 November, now on public view in

our York Avenue galleries in #NYC.
