This morning Erica Jae and I photographed poet and founder of Roc Bottom Slam Team, Lu Highsmith. Lu chose the Phillis Wheatley Community Library as the location of the shoot, a library where she read voraciously as a child and where Shawn Dunwoody has done some remarkable artwork. Lu’s niece, La Tasha Jones, agreed to be in some pictures. Lu was interviewed for The Injured Body: A Film about Racism in America (a work in progress).
