Art and Activism: 50 Years of Africana Studies at KU
On the east side of Watson Library, Bell installed A Teenager With Promise, Annotated. In this work, Bell radically edits media coverage of Michael Brown and Officer Darren Wilson of Ferguson, Missouri, creating a memorial to Brown rather than intertwining a story of a policeman and his victim. Bell rejects the newspaper's "both sides" set-up and returns the focus to the beloved life lost.
