History’s Brush
July 5, 2024I spent some time thinking about Juneteenth and the long struggle to have the important day recognized. We struggle now to keep it from being erased as it could be in the 2024 elections. Floridians know what erasing Black history looks like. This is my image I call History’s Brush. As the father of Black history, Carter G. Woodson said, “If a race has no history … it stands in danger of being exterminated.”
I’m happy to say that the image is one of three dozen reflecting on roots and identity in a thought provoking virtual exhibition at the link. Roots and Reflections: Abstract Explorations Of Identity from 2nd July - 29th September, 2024.
