RESIST!: A Visual History of Protest exhibition and book

UIMA hosts fifty years of protest paintings by art journalist Franklin McMahon (Mac). The curation and writing, by his daughter Margot McMahon, reveal the stories behind Mac's art journalism.

RESIST! A Visual History of Protest Margot McMahon

"Drawings that captured scenes in the world came to our bowling alley dinner table. Dad’s images and Mom’s writing expressed the emotions in the conflict, the immediacy of people making up a crowd. Many of those protestors are shown for the story they carry, the choice to leave their children, parents, to be a part of something bigger. They showed

violent protests in Chicago’s Marquette Park. MLK speaking to Single Room Occupancy tenants on West Madison Ave in Chicago, JFK being killed in the South, and LBJ becoming President. LBJ and Bobbie Kennedy disagreed from afar until it all came to Chicago, one Midwestern city profoundly split in two at Division Street, America."

The Margot McMahon Collection

Aquarius Press has published three books in 2021: If Trees Could Talk, Mac and Irene: A WWII Saga, and Airdrie. Oak Park Public Library will host Margot showing others how to find untold family stories with clues from heirlooms.
