Multi-generational Family (Photo caption) Inter-generational love between Black males is rarely seen. Arrie Wells, age 91, has lived in the same house in southwest Baltimore for fifty-seven years. Arrie is known to many generations of Baltimoreans as "Cool Breeze." Strolling along one day, I watched him play with his great, great, grandson. Nearing his "stoop" I kneeled and politely asked if I could document the love I observed between the two of them. He nodded. The three-year-old jumped in his lap for comfort and a "classic" was captured. |
Struck by the lack of positive, real images featuring African-Americans in commercial print advertisements in mainstream, non-ethnic magazines, in particular financial trades and mutual fund marketing literature, J. Brooks Slaughter II began focusing on multicultural, multiethnic images in lifestyle or business situations.
