QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson



"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil



"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

- Dredlocks Tree

Celebrating Our Sons Through Words & Images
Opening Reception July 21st, 2012 5PM - 8PM
On View Through August 18th
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building
Harlem, New York City

                                  

 

Rarely is the focus of Nubian Knights Network on myself, however, this is a really big deal and special event for me as I will be exhibiting my photography work for the first time (in my 10 years of shooting) along with a bunch of other really talented artists/photographers.

The focus of this photography/art exhibit is on the positivity of young Black males. There's some really POWERFUL works at this art gallery exhibit to see. This is about US telling/showing OUR OWN STORIES of the African Diaspora.

PLEASE come out and support... and it's FREE!
