The book’s aim is to create an immersive experience that renews readers’ appreciation of the past while asking questions about representation in media, and inspiring the artists of the future. “I wanted to make an impact with my art as an African-American and reimagine Hollywood history by recreating famous movie scenes and iconic images of Black celebrities and entertainers,” Augustus tells“Over the past ten years, of cultivating this project, I’ve found that it’s not always easy for people to comprehend — and whether they get it or not turns out to have a lot to do with the color of their skin,” Augustus adds.
“My white friends asked a ton of questions. Why are you doing this? What’s the point of imitating something that has already been done? Black people, though… they get it. They understand the power of seeing someone who looks like you doing something incredible, and being recognized for it,” he continues.is not just a book for Black people, it’s a book for all people about Black people. About the dreams we were never told we could achieve. About the places we were never told we could go.
