Excerpt from essay by George N'Namdi: One of the reasons I started collecting was that the rebellion of the 60s induced in me this strong desire to preserve the culture of African-American people and I began to wonder specifically how I could
preserve the culture through supporting and preserving visual arts, theater, dance and so on.
Collecting art is important because it changes people’s perception on life. It changes the activities they do. It changes their relationship with people and the way they think about things. It changes conversation. It makes them see the world differently.
