Dignity Justified
The Dignity Justified Podcast promotes the cultural heritage of African Americans through conversations about art, artifacts, images, ideas and individuals. Our organization (dignityjustified.com) is curious about humanity and so it shines a light on imagery in general and individuals in particular, to reveal the layers of stories embedded within— for the purpose of honoring the dignity of others and deepening our understanding of self, family, community, and country.
