“There is a forgotten black middle class in America - a group which is huge but underrepresented in the media and in art. It's difficult to talk about these things, because it forces one to talk in generalities, but that's my view. I do think the idea of a blanket class for black people is unfortunately still present.” PeopleThinkingArtDifficultBlackForgottenMiddle ClassBlack PeopleBlanket Author:Ayana Mathis
