ARTS&CULTURE: BLACK WOMAN AS MUSE, A LANDMARK BOOK CELEBRATING BLACK WOMANHOOD
(CHARLOTTE, NC – June 8, 2026) – Photographer Jerry Taliaferro has just published his latest photo essay, BLACK WOMAN AS MUSE (MUSE). The book is based on his traveling exhibition of the same title. It is a long-overdue homage to African American womanhood. This collection of photographs, produced over the course of decades, consists of images from one photographer’s odyssey to truly “seeing” the beauty that has always surrounded him. Most importantly, the subjects are Black Women who inhabit the day-to-day lives of most Americans. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and coworkers. Rarely has the American woman of African descent been so gloriously portrayed. Every page is an emotional experience. This is a book that daughters will share with daughters as they celebrate the beauty that is uniquely their own.

(BALTIMORE – May 4, 2026) — Our community has been propagandized into blurring the line between political and personal engagement. Politics is about power—power to impose an agenda regarding the distribution of resources and the rules that govern society. Too often, our community engages in politics as if it were a collection of social clubs. Political fundraisers and banquets can feel more like prom or homecoming than sites of serious power-building. There is nothing wrong with having events that feel good, but that environment can obscure the fundamental reality: politics is about power, not personalities. There are three questions I…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A rally erupted today on the campus of American University after a disturbing case of racial bias and institutional betrayal came to light: a Black woman faculty member says she was physically assaulted by a white female colleague — who was then protected by the university — while the victim herself was terminated just days before completing her probationary period. Pia Nelson did not mince words at today’s rally. “Barbara Morse pulled my hair from my scalp leaving a bald spot,” Nelson declared to the crowd. “I reported her. They did more to protect her than me.…
