Question Bridge: Black Males

2011

For Question Bridge: Black Males, Chris Johnson and Hank Willis Thomas, with Bayeté Ross Smith and Kamal Sinclair, spent years traveling to twelve American cities and towns speaking with one hundred fifty Black men, who represented a range of geographic, generational, economic, and educational backgrounds. The varied speakers seem to be in dialogue with one another, their reflections sharing common self-selected themes, usually left unspoken, that challenge generalizations often based on racist systems of oppression and violence.
