A symbolic black‑and‑white photograph showing preserved historical images and documents that represent the painful yet unforgettable memories of Black history.

Black history carries wounds so deep and so visible that no amount of denial can erase them. Across Africa, South Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, the crimes committed against Black people form one of the most painful and unforgettable chapters in human history.

About six years ago, there used to be a black man I had been seeing frequently at a drinking Café I used to work in Antwerp, Belgium. As I said earlier, I have met him many times, but his strange attitude made me find out where he comes from. 


He never responded to my greetings. Close by, I could greet him, but every time without a word. I made inquiries to my boss as to who he was, and I was told that he was a musician from the United States of America. I wasn't surprised to hear that.
