Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present ( 2002 )

“Reflections in Black, the first comprehensive history of black photographers, is a groundbreaking pictorial collection of African American life. Featuring the work of undisputed masters such as James VanDerZee, Gordon Parks, and Carrie Mae Weems among dozens of others, this book is a refutation of the gross caricature of black life that many mainstream photographers have manifested by continually emphasizing poverty over family, despair over hope. 

Nearly 600 images offer rich, moving glimpses of everyday black life, from slavery to the Great Migration to contemporary suburban life, including rare antebellum daguerrotypes, photojournalism of the civil rights era, and multimedia portraits of middle-class families. 

A work so significant that it has the power to reconfigure our conception of American history itself, Reflections in Black demands to be included in every American family’s library as an essential part of our heritage. A Los Angeles Times and Washington Post Book World Best Book of 2000, and a Good Morning, America best gift book of 2000. 600 duotone photographs, 32 pages of color.”

Photographer and curator Deborah Willis has essentially spent her career examining the visual representation of African Americans. After being awarded a MacArthur “genius” grant in 2000 for her “investigation and recovery of the legacy of African-American photography,” she published “Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present.” The 2002 book was the inspiration for the documentary “Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People,” which is screening at the Film Forum in New York through Sept. 16. Willis, chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, is a co-producer of the film.

Her 1992 album Miss Perfumado sold more than 300,000 copies worldwide and brought Évora international fame. Évora won a Grammy Award for her ninth album Voz d’Amor. She toured throughout the world, becoming one of Africa’s most internationally successful musicians. Évora was so beloved that upon her death in 2011 at the age of 70, the government of Cape Verde declared two days of national mourning.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, But Can It Be Compromised?

Seeing that Colin Kaepernick has a new ad with Nike, movement’s can be prostituted. For years Nike has used slave labor in places like Indonesia. And as American as American can get, in 1995 politicians in Oregon their own just do campaign, by courting Nike to move their production from Indonesia into Oregon prisons.

“We propose that (Nike) take a look at their transportation costs and their labor costs,” “We could offer [competitive] prison inmate labor” in Oregon.~Oregon State Representative Kevin Mannix.

Is the company that Colin wants to ad campaign for? They went from slave labor overseas to slave labor in our local prisons. Maybe Colin Kaepernick is not aware of Nike and it’s business practices, maybe I should give him the benefit of doubt. Or maybe in era of wokeness we are really watching faux revolutionary somnambulism.

Currently thinking about

Edging someone with the head of my cock until they’re pouting and begging and whining and grinding. Then slamming into them and forcing them to cum on the spot.
