Before his death, acclaimed artist Tom Feelings was working on a project that would illustrate the history of the African Diaspora through simple sketches of faces. Feelings' stunning portraits and Dawes' brief, poetic text combine in a powerful reminder of the real people who are part of history. Also included are sketches of the types of architecture found where many African-Americans settled, making this a unique introduction to the geography of the Diaspora.
