NOTES

"From 1973 to 1980, a group of African American artists in New York City published The Black Photographers Annual. The idea emerged from the collective of African American photographers known as the Kamoinge Workshop (Kamoinge, from the Kikuyu language of Kenya, means “to work together”). The forty-nine artists featured in the book, however, far exceeded the boundaries of the collective...In her preface for the Annual novelist Toni Morrison wrote, “It was conceived as a commitment to the community of Black artists…,” while writer and activist Clayton Riley described the Annual as a defining moment in black culture."
