“it’s a big-hearted book.”
- Bill Shapiro, Former Editor-in-Chief, LIFE magazine
“Western history does not celebrate the magic of Black moments, the beauty of the normal. Ken West’s astute snapshots of daily life in all its poignancy —the extraordinary moments and the incidental—is changing that.”
— Jen Sudul Edwards, Ph.D., Chief Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art, The Mint Museum
