“We The People”

An Exhibit by CAM

6/20/2026 - 7/4/2026

About the Exhibit:

“We the People” are the first words of the Constitution, but we know those words were never meant to include us. Not the people who built this country from the ground up, both literally and figuratively. Not the people whose lives were stolen, who were taken from their homelands and forced into a system that sought to use and erase them.

We are the people who have shaped and defined what is known as “American culture,” even as our contributions get overlooked, minimized, or claimed by others. This exhibition challenges that systemic narrative. It reclaims the meaning of Black culture by presenting it in its fullness, beyond stereotypes, beyond what is packaged for consumption on screens.

This is about Black American culture in its truth, its depth, and its everyday reality.

Because We Are The People.
