"Black history tells powerful stories of innovation, perseverance, triumph, and celebration but also stories of loss, tragedy, trauma, and pain. Historically, African Americans have turned to art for its inexplicable healing powers. There is healing in African American spirituals and in praise dance; in African drums; and in beatboxing, in storytelling, and in rhythm and blues." - Ashley Tucker, LOC

"But there is also healing in the beautiful experience of black hair beading, braiding, combing, pressing, and weaving. It's our way of connecting our spirits and elevating ourselves during times of pain and struggle." - N.Parks
