As we close on Juneteenth 2026, I can’t help but imagine what my ancestors went through for 400 YEARS.
400 years is not a short time.
That’s 4 GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE.
IN BO***GE.
IN CHAINS.
IN HELL.
And then, once freed, The EVIL that held them captive, never told them and kept them in SLAVERY 2 YEARS and 5 and half months longer.
The beautiful and talented Devonna Curtis and I didn’t create this work with that in mind but when I look at these images, I imagine the constraints of SLAVERY and JIM CROW that our ancstors had to bear.
