You may have seen my invitation to the 28th annual "Art of the African Diaspora Exhibit & Open Studios" Artist's Reception (AOTAD). Everyone is welcomed to enjoy and experience compelling, original artwork by more than 130 artists of African descent. Following is a guide I created "How to Navigate the Exhibit", a guide to see and experience as many of these great artists (and their artwork) as possible.
On June 6, 200 residents from my Maxwell Park neighborhood, in Oakland, California came together for a solidarity protest in remembrance of George Floyd, a black man from Minneapolis who was brutally murdered by a policeman on March 25. Ours was a peaceful stand against the continued violence and inequality in minority communities.
