From then on she would paint in oil and then acrylics but on soft unstretched canvas first on tankas and subsequently framed by quilting, usually done by the professional quilters who assist her, principally in recent years her artist assistant Grace Matthews.

Contributors include Manthia Diawara, Cornel West, Henry Louis Gates, Greg Tate, Tricia Rose, Lisa Kennedy, Sherley Anne Williams, Marlon Riggs, Stuart Hall and Isaac Julien. The goal of the conference was to add cultural relativism to the mix on discussions of black popular culture. I conceived the conference and spearheaded it during the three days of its meeting. Gina Dent subsequently edited the volume and ushered it into publication. Very special.

I had originally intended to add a lot of other materials I had written in the period from 1971 through 1990 but Verso was going through massive changes in its organization so I opted to hold back on the additional materials and publish them elsewhere, although I am not sure whether or if at this point.
