“What began as a counterstatement to the introduction in the catalog of the ‘Contemporary Black Artists in America’ exhibition at the Whitney Museum in April 1971 has transcended its original purpose and has become more than just a rebuttal to the misrepresentations in the introduction. It has developed in BLACK ART NOTES which is a concrete affirmation of Black Art philosophy as interpreted by eight Black artists.”
