An Executive Order came out targeting sculptures and National Parks. Why? The way to make policy work is through controlling the NARRATIVE. And one of the main ways we have done that in society is through the work of culture, the arts, even through sculpture. You believe what

Who was behind the Black Dandy theme for the 2025 Met Gala? Monica Miller. I love that she had faith in the work (and her book, Slaves to Fashion). And then the world caught up. I love it so much. All praises, Monica.

Representation shapes notions of who belongs and who counts in American democracy. Consider The Equal Justice Initiative’s Community Remembrance Project, a profound act of reclaiming history. In gathering soil from lynching sites across the American South, the memorial uses
