High Design, Ocala, Florida, 1995

Description

An anthology of contemporary African-American men’s writing. The image was found in the portfolio of a friend who did a series of photographs featuring Ken Moody. I cropped it to represent the loss of identify suffered as ... “no one seems to know who black men are beyond a narrow mainstream representation in which it seems they can only be super athletes, super entertainers of supercriminals.” - Don Belton
