More important was his attitude regarding personal fame. Sallman let the Christ he painted be in the foreground, while the artist remained in the background. "The tim...

They have been erroneously led to believe and accept their supposed minority status, with the vast bulk of the population supposedly residing on the oppo...

Urban revitalization policies target public housing residents by demolishing public housing towers and dispersing poor (Black) residents into new, deconcentrated spaces in the city via housing choice vouchers and other housing-based tools of economic and urba...
