Black Art Matters celebrates the peaks and valleys of all black lives in the past, the present, and the possibilities of the future. Some of the artwork explores struggle, tears, laughter, frustration, and hope. Other pieces depict the unwavering faith, power, character, endurance, and fearlessness experienced from generation to generation.
