Over 500 glorious black-and-white photographs celebrating black
culture throughout American history, from Jesse Owens to Barry
Bonds, Ella Fitzgerald to Halle Berry. Tucked away in the dusty
halls of the Smithsonian archives and nearly forgotten by most
historians, black culture is a vast, complex, interconnected web of
different people, trends, and lifestyles. Deborah Willis has dug
through the archives and hunted down the remnants that tell the
wonderful and tragic history of a people. Tackling all subjects
with bravery and frankness, Deborah Willis's work is a true
treasure to behold. Black: A Celebration of a Culture, which would
be a perfect complement to any Juneteenth celebration, presents a
vibrant panorama of twentieth-century black culture in America and
around the world. Broken up into segments that examine in detail
such subjects as children, work, art, beauty, Saturday night, and
Sunday morning, the photos detail the history and the evolution of
a culture. Each photograph, handpicked by Deborah Willis, America's
leading historian of African American photography, celebrates the
world of music, art, fashion, sports, family, worship, or play.
With five hundred photographs from every time period from the birth
of photography to the birth of hip-hop, this book is a truly joyous
exhibition of black culture. From Jessie Owens to Barry Bonds, Ella
Fitzgerald to Halle Berry, Black: A Celebration of a Culture is
joyous and inspiring.
