It is intended to contrast the American media's projection of the "typical" African American community with a more realistic picture of normal African American life. My intent is to also explore the variations and similarities of an existence that subverts lifestyle and culture, particularly as it relates to Americanism.“ Website: http://www.sheilapreebright.com |
