Amos Kennedy

Open zoom-lecture with activist and letterpress legend Amos Kennedy Jr.

I was born.

I am animal.
I am human.

I live.

I live negro.

I tell you this because you will mistake me for an africanamerican BUT i am negro, a descendant of the enslaved
peoples of theseunitedstatesofamerica.

I live southern.

I was born colored in Louisiana. I was raised negro. I was educated Black at Grambling College, a historically
integrated college. 

I live in the moment.

In the moment is creation. Creation is within every human. We must celebrate our creativity. The moment fuels our
creativity.

I live to put ink on paper.

This is the major outlet for my creativity. I put ink on paper for the glory of my peoples. The words of my peoples
have largely been excluded from "fine print." I defy this condition and force my peoples' presence into this part of
this civilization's culture.

I am a printer.

I am not an artist.

I am a stuff-maker.

I am not an artist.
I am a visitor.

I will die.
