In 2002 she began working with Moko Jumbies - still walkers - from Dragon Keylemanjahro School of Arts and Culture in Trinidad, a community center completely operated through volunteer participation from residents of the neighborhood. The project focuses on providing free of charge extracurricular activities to youth of a low-income area, as well as reviving the art and tradition of West African stilt walking. Through artistic interventions during special events, carnival competitions, workshops and outreach programs, the project aims to reinforce social ideals such as healthy life choices and respect for cultural heritage. Jumbie Camp follows the same concepts as above with the Brooklyn Jumbies and takes place in two burrows of New York with very different demographics. Jumbie Camp set up in Galeria Ramis Barquet in Chelsea, where the gallery was transformed into a workshop and rehearsal space where costumes and masks were created to provide costumes free of charge for the Brooklyn Jumbies’ presentations.

"Florestine Perrault Collins and the Gendered Politics of Black Portraiture in 1920s New Orleans." Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association 43, no. 2 (Spring 2002): 167-188. http://www.jstor.org.libproxy.wustl.edu/stable/4233837?seq=1 (accessed July 23, 2010). In this article, “Florestine Perrault Collins and the Gendered Politics of Black Portraiture in 1920s New Orleans,” Arthe Anthony provides the reader with a succinct look at one of the first African-American female photographers in this nation. Born in Louisiana, Florestine Collins always knew she wanted to be a photographer from the time she took her first job at the age of fourteen to assist her father with the family’s debt load. Due to the Jim Crow regime of the South, Collins had to “pass” in order to be considered for the job as a photographer since all potential employers were white. For apparent reasons, Collins had to keep her racial identity secret for years. In an interview, she informs Anthony that had her employers known she was indeed black, they “probably would not have allowed her to take pictures.” During a time when black women served primarily in domestic or servant roles, “the contours of Collins's career mirrored a complicated interplay of gender, racial, and class expectations.” Ultimately, she was still expected to be a wife, mother, homemaker, etc.

MICHAEL BUTLER Isaac Hayes provides a vital public figure through which scholars can analyze, evaluate, and more fully understand the comprehensive nature of the black freedom struggle as it progressed into the s. Hayes merged the integrationist political objectives of mainstream civil rights organiza- tions and leaders with the notions of racial pride, assertiveness, and autonomy that characterized the popular appeal of the black power movement. Hayes, through his “Black Moses” persona and LP of the same name, moved those freedom struggle promises and opportunities into the cultural realm, where he personified African American artistic self-determination. In doing so, he demonstrated that the contemporary conceptualization of black masculinity was not mono- lithic, as Hayes introduced and embodied an ideal that countered the prevailing notion of black manhood which pervaded popular culture and remains a central component of popular memory concerning black power. Most importantly, Isaac Hayes embodied a model of black masculinity that contradicted the prevailing “black macho” ideal. “Black Moses,” therefore, embodied the freedom of African Americans to move beyond contemporary racial classifications in a cultural capacity and presents scholars with an intriguing model through which to examine the evolution, possibilities, and accomplishments of the post-s American black freedom struggle.
