A Black Vision of Palestine

From October 24th to November 7th, I had the honor of joining 15 other freedom fighters for a two week African Heritage Delegation to Israel/Palestine through the Interfaith Peace Builders. Our delegation was made up of educators, journalists, filmmakers, and several other professions. Much of what we saw troubled us. Other aspects gave us deep hope. All of it propelled us to move past casual observation to a joining in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against apartheid.

Midway through the trip, I was inspired by fellow delegate Ajamu Baraka to consider publishing my photographs as an eventual gallery. "I think you should call it A Black Vision of Palestine." The name stuck, and now the two of us plan on speaking together nationally about the narrative behind these images.

Here's a sneak peak of what I saw. For the sake of expediency, I'm publishing this gallery before its completion. I have more to add, but there is no time to waste with availing this to the public — people are in bondage, families are being broken apart, and a nation is suffering. I hope to add more details and photos in the next days and weeks. Please check back often for updates.
