![]() ![]() ![]() Weaving social, cultural, and historical vignettes, reminiscences and memories, this scrapbook explores a world seldom seen. Polk, Morgan and Marvin Smith, and lesser-known photographers who have reached into their scrapbooks and shoeboxes to share never-before-seen images of African-American grace, pride, and love that are priceless. In Our Own Image is enhanced by the stunning portraits of well-known photographers, including Gordon Parks, P.H. This is not a compensation, but a celebration of family and community, dignity and determination, the faith and optimism that have not only enabled the African-American community to endure, but to prevail over historic and systemic changes. With an appreciation for the subtle as opposed to the sensational, In Our Own Image is a reflection of fifty years of African-American lives lived well. ![]()
