MY AMERICA

By Bertram Knight

My America challenges perceptions of identity and culture as it relates to marginalized peoples  in contemporary America. Through providing visual representations of their authentic expressions, actions and joys this series seeks to spark conversations around the erasure marginalized groups face as a result of societal prejudices.
