Hank Willis Thomas, an African American and a photo conceptual artist. Thomas works on making themes that are primarily related to identity, history, and popular culture. Thomas, received his BFA from New York University 's Tisch School of the Arts, and an MFA in photography. Working in New York, Tomas's, work has been featured in many museums from the Guggenheim Museum to the High Museums of Art.
Showing the differences from where African American's came from to where we are now. Saying people can't be split down the middle as someone who matters and doesn't at the same time. Choosing to use the things many African American's suffered from on a day to day base, and showing the now of the changes African's have gone through.
Seeing Thomas's work, makes me want to go and show how African's aren't worthless, and that they have come from so little. To show that any person can do just as much as the next, that they can all be something .
