About

The Kwame Brathwaite Archive, a 501(c)3, was established to preserve the works of photographer Kwame Brathwaite and to further his mission to show "the beauty of our people" and to preserve black culture. With a career spanning over six decades, Brathwaite became known as the "Keeper of the Images". His archive documents the history of African and African American culture, throughout the diaspora. With a global reach and a focus on the intersection of politics, fashion, music and activism, his work provides a view into history that is vital to the present day conversation around equity and empowerment.
