Picturing Black History: Photographs And Stories That Changed The World
Coeditor and Contributor
From the Introduction to Picturing Black History:
“In developing a history of the African American experience in its variety, community members and scholars alike embrace photography as a visual record of the enduring connections that sustain Black folk.
Black history has been much more than simply a catalog of stories, figures, and events in the struggle against racial discrimination. It has offered a toolkit of strategies for confronting the persistent difficulties of everyday life in a context for imagining new possibilities for African Americans in American society.”
