Making my way back to the west coast from NYC, I stopped in the city of my alma mater. I only had a few days in this little town. My first stop was to see these masterpieces in person. I have seen exhibits of Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald in New York. Seeing these colorful pieces placed among other prestigious works felt surreal. There is something to be said here about who is and is not in the canon, in politics and in art. I’m content to see all of them getting the lighting they deserve.
