“Need reference books too on everything. I’ve asked my father to provide you with the money for this stuff. He will cooperate with you. But remember we want the pocket editions of everything. These pigs like to steal—if I lose something it’s best if it’s only something small.” -George Jackson

Happy to share my official book launch with @smingsmingbooks and exhibition Restored/Access on Allensworth, CA at @the_fulcrum_press . Show opens next Saturday May 21 from 6-9 through June 18. Books are available through the link in my bio and at the gallery
Very thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of Restored/Access by @kekojackson .✨ The book combines recent photographs with archival materials from his uncle’s collection on Allensworth—the first town in California to be founded, financed, and governed by Black people. Founded in 1908 as a symbol of freedom in the West, Allensworth is part of a long legacy of independent and autonomous communities created by revolutionaries and people who escaped enslavement. @kekojackson brings together visual narratives of the past and present to illustrate the evolution of this town and its significance across time through its success and decline.
Coming soon! Available for preorder at smingsming.com. #allensworth #kekojackson
