I began my career over thirty ago making the transition from collector (African American Studies) to dealer. Since the beginning I have never lost the “thrill of the hunt” for both objects and knowledge nor have I lost the excitement for the “tactile” experience with the material. I respect and love both the content and the presentation. I particularly enjoy finding and placing with libraries and institutions “primary source material” and in that activity play my small part in defending against “revisionist” history.
