Our PILLARS

As reflected in CCCCADI's mission, the programs and activities of the Center revolve around any and all forms of arts, culture, education and media that have the ability to address social justice and cultural equity as applied particularly to people of African descent. The Center’s efforts can be defined as four broad categories:  Expressions, Learning, Spirituality and Exchange.

Radcliffe Roye, 1)”Orange Jumpsuit”, 2)”Cotton Field”, 3)”Bullseye”, 2014, from the series When Living Is A Protest. Courtesy of the artist. (@ruddyroye) Hands Up By Garnette Cadogan HANDS HELD UP—the universal gesture of helplessness. But in the summer of 2014, after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, this simple gesture was transformed into a symbol of protest, of determination, of defiance. Hands now ascend to assert dignity. In Radcliffe “Ruddy” Roye’s photographs, people constantly negotiate what it means to have dignity in the face of innumerable forces arrayed against this basic human quality—thus the title of his ongoing project: When Living Is A Protest. He sees them, those fathers and sons and mothers and daughters and grandmothers and neighbors and strangers who insist that their lives are no less valuable because of the mere fact of their blackness. *For more on Radcliffe Roye’s series, When Living Is A Protest and to read Garnette Cadogan’s full essay, click on link in bio.
