I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO is an 24x 24mixed media art piece inspired by the impact of James Baldwin. The primary medium used for this work was Acrylic paint. It also utilizes the print medium “newspaper” as a way to historize the subject’s intellectual current. The newspaper segment placed on the background of this work is an article titled The White Mans Guilt that was published in Ebony magazine in 1965. Additionally, while all of the elements considered should be left to the viewer’s interpretation, the artist wants to highlight the words transcribed on the left cheek of the subject’s face -This excerpt was pulled from James Baldwins, Fire Next Time.
