Kamoinge | a group of people acting together... was formed in New York in 1963 to address the under-representation of black photographers in the art world. The group was founded by Louis Draper, Ray Francis, Herbert Randall and Albert Fennar, with Roy DeCarava serving as its first director.
Kamoinge's body of work spans the past forty years and included numerous images of daily life in black America during the last half of the twentieth century.
