Kenneth Montague's collection, started with a single photograph, has blossomed into the Wedge Collection, a prominent showcase of Black artists and their stories.
The photograph by James Van Der Zee encapsulates the duality of the Black experience in America, showcasing both the pain of racism and the triumph of Black culture.
As We Rise displays a narrative through intimate depictions of Black subjects, emphasizing shared experiences and the resilience of Black communities throughout history.
Montague's journey began with a profound connection to art and identity, transforming him from a young observer into a significant collector and advocate for Black photography.
