From InstagramCaption
“[My father] wasn’t a talkative man, but... I am learning about who he is and what drove him—a deep love of the greatness of our people and showing that to the world.” —Kwame S. Brathwaite, the artist's son and director of the Kwame Brathwaite Archive, discussing why he wanted to archive his father's extraordinary body of work, during an interview with @vice. Happy Father's Day to both Brathwaites, father and son, and to all the fathers and father figures who help us see beauty in all its forms.
