SURVIVAL: BLACK SURVIVAL


God in heaven she is fine, but there is a catch to what is seen, and presented.

Black women in the 1960's held something aside in their day to day interactions with people. It kept the mystery of who they were alive and around them a mystique to protect them in ways the untutored predator could not begin to design, or unravel, except through force. In retrospect the old photos don't reveal immaturity in young women the way immaturity is flaunted today amongst our young women as a virtue, as a prerequisite to becoming hip, or part of their makeup!” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.24.12
