Took my aunts from Buffalo to Underground Railroad Freedom Center when I lived in Cincy because one of them worked at Niagara University and had something going on related to the Underground Railroad. Very moving and humbling experience.

I went to the Schomberg Center last November for the express purpose of seeing the exhibit named for one of @docdre.distributedblackness.net's works. Standing in the James Baldwin exhibit there, and thinking on what had just transpired in the election was *a lot*.

That’s a powerful intersection of affect, information, art, and Black aesthetics!

Will you say more in a separate blog post? I’m going to see the exhibit in Detroit this spring

A separate blog post (or two) is what the visit deserves. I took some photos during my visit that I'll review and think on to try and write something to do the trip justice.
