    I am so proud of the history of our Black men. Talent and Art at it’s best. Duke had that Swagger!

    I love the history behind each image, Gordon Parks is the truth… He paved the way for photographers like myself….

    Wow! I just realized when I studied at The Art Institute of Philadelphia I don’t recall ever studying the contributions of Black Men on Fashion! Nevertheless, an image is worth a thousand words. Kudos to the young gents @ Street Etiquette, Sean John and the young’ens making their way -saratorially speaking- at MOREHOUSE COLLEGE!
