Black men have always been looked at under a microscope that has already been tainted to project a negative, “hood-like” persona upon us.  To America, our skin color says it all. We’re constantly judged before we can even utter a sentence or take a breath. In this series of work, I’ve put the viewer in the shoes of black men living in America by interviewing others, but also telling my story which has been intertwined with one of the country's most historical terrorist attacks, September 11th.
