He represented the best in all of us. Dignity, grace, courage, joy. We simply loved him. How many of us watched his films with pride. A defiant Black man who would shatter hate with love. His passing is piercing. How do we honor such a man? By living his example. It’s not too late. In the face of so much confusion, we can be still and harness what’s important in life. We must bear witness to each others’ humanity.
The West Harlem Art Fund (WHAF) is a twenty-five year old, public art and new media organization. Like explorers from the past, who searched for new lands and people, WHAF offers opportunities for artists and creative professionals throughout NYC and beyond wishing to showcase and share their talent. The West Harlem Art Fund presents art and culture in open and public spaces to add aesthetic interest; promote historical and cultural heritage; and support community involvement in local development. Our heritage symbol Afuntummireku-denkyemmtreku: is the double crocodile from West Africa Ghana which means unity in diversity.
