"Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, the youthful and effervescent Jackson Five, and the gospel tongue of Aretha Franklin ... those 45 records spun our hopes and our dreams," said Williams, a playwright, poet and visual artist. "It's a celebration of the music of my era- the time when Blacks were into Blackness, and a time when I believed I could fly. I'm bringing it back for those people who were also impacted by this music."
Williams took photographs of her collection of more than two hundred 45 vinyl records, interspersing them with photos she's been taking of Black people in NY as a collage she displays as art: "Lord knows how they've sustained my many moves over the years, but they made it! So spirit placed it in me to create art work using the images."
