About the Book
The face of America is the face of Black People. Our faces entertain, frighten, bring "Hope", sell clothing and shoes, make hate groups organize, and bring envy to those who try to look like us. But our faces also tell a story that is universal and real. Every wrinkle, crevice, blemish or line on our face has a story deep within its's pores. Our faces show happiness, joy, pain, power, anger, love, fatigue, frustration, fear, wins, losses, beauty, fear, and bravery. The narrative of America cannot be told without us. Yes, Black Faces Matter. This first edition features Black Men and their unique faces, along with an essay by 2018 MacArthur Genius Grant winner John Keene and poetry by the celebrated J. Darius Greene.
