“It is not enough for us to talk about the philosophies, the personal needs of the Black artists, or to beg you to support
them because they are something special. If you would read the popular art publications, you will notice that most of
the emphasis is placed on those areas. They are important and needed, but we are talking about other things, which are
just as important. We are talking about your helping to promote, preserve, and have an input into the art works done by
Black artists. By your buying, you will enable the artist to eat, pay rent, buy supplies and continue to work out artistic
problems that stem from his or her unique life experiences––very often Black ones.”
Benny Andrews, artist
