Schools for the Colored depicts the landscape and architecture of historically segregated schools in northern states. At the very beginning of W.E.B. DuBois' "The Souls of Black Folk" he describes an early school experience, "... I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil"
The images in this portfolio are made using pigment inkjet prints that produce images that are 13.3"x20" on 20"x24" sheets of 100% rag paper. The project has been fabricated as an exhibition of fifty (50) framed prints (22"x28").
