An "Invisible Presence" - "We've selected these pieces with a great deal of care, and we continue to look for pieces that will bring the story to bear and give a more complete picture," Bernard Kinsey said. "We really want to write Black people into the narrative of America. Once we do that we can get over race, which is also what we want." (Photo: Gene Duncan, photographer)
