Freedmen of the 5 Tribes are not niche or an anomaly. There were 20,000+ of us on the approved Dawes, which means there were actually more than that. We were not just formerly enslaved. We spoke our languages, served in government, and lived in community. https://t.co/R4UOqJr51W

Through the Dividing Lines Symposium, we seek to address the African/Native diasporas & experiences throughout the Americas. In 2020, we featured works by Yasser Garcia Rittoles, Yuleisy Fernández Cruzata & Jesús Molina three amazing Cuban artists whose work embodies this mission
Yuleisys work "Transculturation" was used as the main image for the 2020 Dividing Lines Symposium. In this video Yuly and Jesús showcase their work and the role African and Native American life and culture play in their art.
