A new anthology project is seeking personal essays by Black Arizonans.
“Indiscernibles” is part of an attempt to tell a largely unknown story about “The Great Migration,” when millions of Blacks left the South for the North, Midwest and West during the 20th century.
Clottee Hammons, creative director of Emancipation Arts LLC is the project’s brainchild and said Black people in Arizona have never been thought of as migrants nor refugees and therefore haven’t been given the respect afforded to others who adapted to life in the state and the U.S.
Hammons is seeking responses from Black Arizonans of all ages on two central questions: How did you come to Arizona and why do you stay?
