"For more than two decades, William Pope.L has used his provocative and often amusing art to investigate the nature of race in America. The artist, who describes himself as “the friendliest black artist in America,” created his poster in conjunction with his touring Black Factory. For this project, the artist and his assistants, including Miss Black Factory, traveled the country in a panel truck that unfolded to an interactive exhibition—workshop, inflatable igloo archive, and gift shop rolled into one. The signed print incorporates Pope.L’s signature rubber duckie and, on the reverse, a view of the artist’s head."

- 21st Century
- American - Refers to the context of or associated specifically with the modern political entity of the United States of America.
- Contemporary - Refers to painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present.
- offset lithography - Printing method in which an image is created by lithographic technique, using the disaffinity of greasy and watery substances, and is then transferred from the stone or plate to an intermediary, such as a rubber blanket, and then offset onto the final surface. If this transfer process is used but the original image is other than lithographic, use the more general term "offset printing."
- offset printing - Printing method in which the image is transferred from a plate, block, or stone to an intermediary, such as a rubber blanket, then onto the final surface. If the original image is created by lithographic technique specifically, use "offset lithography."
- offsets (printing effects) - Images or marks that result from an unintentional transfer of ink or other medium. For images intentionally transferred from a print or drawing to another sheet of paper, use "counterproofs."
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- posters - Notices intended to be posted to advertise, promote, or publicize an activity, cause, product, or service; also, decorative, mass-produced prints intended for hanging. For small printed notices or advertisements intended for distribution by hand, use "handbills."
