The Editor’s View: 20 Years of NBAF: More Than Entertainment By
Katrice L. Mines, Editor
The
National Black Arts Festival marks a momentous anniversary this month: 20 years of paying tribute to the art and culture of
the African Diaspora. Since its humble beginnings in 1987, the Atlanta-based Festival has attracted a definitive “Who’s
Who” of emerging and renowned artists of African descent — from Amiri Baraka and Wynton Marsalis to Carrie Mae
Weems and Spike Lee. And that “star power,” paired with an integral education element, has served to situate the
NBAF as a creative forum through which compelling exhibitions of black life and culture can be expressed. This year’s
lineup of programs promises to be incomparably enriching. Full storyWe want to hear from
you! Send us your Letters to the Editor, comments and suggestions.
