Fahamu Pecou: The success of Black Atlantans today is a testament to the power of Black visibility
Atlanta Magazine recently published an essay by ADAMA's founder Dr. Fahamu Pecou who also painted the cover of the issue in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.
He was quoted saying, "As an artist invested in Black visual narratives and representation, I see Atlanta as an incomparable muse. The visibility of Black individuals in Atlanta empowers Black imagination and actualization. This kind of visibility, where one can see themself and be seen, creates space for personal growth. The impact of Atlanta’s Black visibility is felt not only locally but also globally, both in the present and in the future.
