Wells-Barnett, with other historic American figures arranged around her, including Martin Luther King Jr., Harvey Milk, Sequoyah holding a Cherokee syllabary tablet, Ira Hayes in military uniform, Thomas Jefferson, and Buckminster Fuller.

Editorial-style courtroom illustration titled “How Iowa Courts Kept Independent Candidate Sondra Wilson Off the Ballot.” A stern judge points from the bench beside the large headline “The Rule 6 Escape Hatch.” A tall stack labeled “Wilson’s Response Filings” contains Iowa case law along with binders marked Facts, Evidence, Record, and Relief. On the right, judges appear alarmed while several robed figures descend through a large floor hatch labeled “Rule 6.1202(5) Escape Hatch: For Emergencies Only!” The accompanying text alleges that courts repeatedly diverted Wilson’s ballot-access case to threshold questions, did not address the authorities she cited, and dismissed the case without engaging the factual record she submitted.
