He was way too young . I mean, 85 is old, but Kwame Brathwaite lived a life full of purpose & passion . His pics were more than just pretty faces - they were a call to arms against racism & beauty standards that don't represent us . The fact that he got to work with legends like Nina Simone & Bob Marley is mind-blowing . I'm so grateful for his legacy, and it's awesome to see the Blanton Museum of Art celebrating him . We need more people like Kwame Brathwaite in this world - using art as a tool for change . Rest in peace, Baba
man this guy Kwame Brathwaite was like a total game changer for black culture his photos were so iconic and he helped bring about a whole new vibe with the "Black is Beautiful" movement... I mean it's crazy to think that he was just doing what came naturally to him and yet it had such a huge impact on the world my grandma used to talk about how much she loved his work and how it made her feel seen and beautiful anyway, his legacy will live on through his amazing photos and the people who were inspired by him
