'The truth is that our jails and prisons hold thousands of people who are innocent, who didn't actually break the law.'

Countless court cases, stop-and-frisk police procedures and the disproportionate number of Black and Brown people incarcerated in the US all speak to a legal system that is infested with inequality and racial bias.

I don't think we do a good job of educating people about their rights anywhere in this country. Communities of color bear that burden in a more significant way because we are often targeted and menaced and pursued by these systems. If you are presumptively dangerous because you're Black, and a police officer has that consciousness, then your lack of knowledge about your rights is going to be far more significant than somebody that's not going to have to manage an encounter like that.
"Knowledge of your rights is a tool; it's a weapon for how you deal with managing a system where power and status can often be used as a weapon against those who have less power and less status."You become vulnerable. Many people think, Well, if you don't ever break the law, if you don't ever do anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about.
My style of silhouette photography is a direct acknowledgement of philosopher Alain Locke, the"Dean" of the Harlem Renaissance.
