What is in the hand of the man standing in the middle of the painting above?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What is in the hand of the man standing in the middle of the painting above is a voting ballot.

This kind of picture is an example of the form of art developed during the Harlem Renaissance, in the Harlem neighborhood, New York City during the 1920s. Harlem artists used art as a way to transmit ideas of liberty, justice, and equality. Artists like Jacob Lawrence created pieces of art like the example above, in which he tried to convey the idea of equality for African Americans and their right to decide.

explanation:

btw this is in middle school stuff lol

both eastern and western early north american cultures were known for building wigwams and longhouses.

wigwams, also called wetus, were small houses of 8-10 feet tall, made of wooden frames covered with woven mats and sheets that were used by algonquian indians. similarly,   longhouses were also used by algonquian and the iroquois tribes, and they were built as well with pole frames and elm bark covering. however, the main difference between wigwams and longhouses is that the latter was much larger than the former, with 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high with inner raised platforms used for sleeping space.
