Poster -Black Is Beautiful (Don't Pay THEM No Mind)
Baines: [reading from the dictionary] "Black: Destitute of light, devoid of color. Enveloped in darkness, hence, utterly dismal or gloomy as, 'The future looked black.'"
Malcolm X: Pretty good with them words, ain't ya.
Baines: "Soiled with dirt. Foul. Sullen. Hostile. Forbidding, as 'a black day.' Foully or outrageously wicked as 'black cruelty,' indicating disgrace, dishonor, or culpability." And there's others. "Blackmail." "Blackball." "Blackguard."
Malcolm X: Yeah, man. That's something, all right.
Baines: Let's look up "white." Here. Read.
Malcolm X: "White: The color of pure snow. Reflecting all the rays of the spectrum. The opposite of black. Free from spot or blemish." "Innocent?" "Pure." Huh? Ain't this something? "Without evil intent. Harmless. Honest, square-dealing, and honorable." Wait a minute. This-this-this is written by white folks, though, right? This is a white folks book?
Baines: This sure ain't no black man's book.
The powerful words drawn from a pivotal scene in the film Malcolm X inspired this artwork, emphasizing the profound significance of language. The words we use and hear regarding race shape our perceptions and influence our behaviors. As depicted in that memorable scene, the term "black" is often burdened with negative connotations in many contexts. Yet, in various African cultures, the color black symbolizes protection, maturity, wisdom, strength, and a deep spiritual connection. This piece abstractly represents our cultural symbols, highlighting positive associations that are often omitted.
