1001 Black Men

“I 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.”

Ajuan Mance

I’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 I’ve ever bought. Buy the book.
