1001 Black Men

8rock.com

โ€œI started the 1001 Black Men online sketchbook project in the summer of 2010. Over the next six and a half years, I created and posted portraits of 1001 of the Black men I encountered in my travels, in my local community, and in my daily life. 

Now, 1001 Black Men is a book. Published by Stacked Deck Press, 1001 Black Men: Portraits of Masculinity at the Intersections combines portraits from the series with writings by and interviews with some of the most interesting Black male poets, authors, and activists of our time. The result is a snapshot of the African American community as understood through a diverse array of images and voices of Black men.โ€

This large-format hardcover book is available for $47.95, from  Stacked Deck Press

Iโ€™ve been following her since the first time I saw her Black men, her portraits of who we be. I love her work. It captures who we are, and what we look like. Her 1001 Black Men may be the best art book Iโ€™ve ever bought. Buy the book.

Angry Man

โ€œTo control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.โ€

John Henrik Clarke

John Henrik Clarke was an African-American historian, professor, and a pioneer in the creation of Pan-African and Africana studies, and professional institutions in academia starting in the late 1960s. They New York Times called him a self-made and angry man.

โ€œIf you can control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his action.โ€ โ€” Carter G. Woodson
