Kamoinge is a group of black Photographers who formed in 1963. Their mission statement: "Honour, document, preserve, & represent the history & culture of the African Diaspora with integrity & respect for humanity through the lens of Black Photographers" This wonderful work is important to counterbalance the whitewashing of #History by mainly white, middle-class historians/reporters throughout time. #BlackHistory #Photography #BlackMastodon #AmericanHistory #BlackTwitter
