Artists and creatives Ashlee Sanford and Nixy Allison are concentrating on two distinct aspects of African American history esthetics and the impact of propaganda imagery .
The Silent Renaissance:
Much has changed since time period where African Americans gained their rise in status and found their place and role in American society. This is significant time, known as The Harlem Renaissance, marked a period in history where African Americans were able to identify their own accomplishments and the notable people within American society. Today the African American Millennials are leading the way in communities throughout our country and abroad.
A Silent Renaissance is now occurring among the young adults of the African American Millennial Generation.
The context of millennial, while defined by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies is quite different for the African American Millennial at least in one particular area ; that of overeducated and underemployed. The African American Millennial has concentrated on entrepreneurship and solving the unemployment issues facing them.
