An Artist's Interpretation of the Slave Experience

Richard Haynes is an artist and photographer form Portsmouth. His latest project is a series of works about the Underground Railroad. Richard often portrays the poor and oppressed in his work. He says he tries to find beauty and hope in unlikely places. Richard talks about his art, being a black kid in the south in the 1950?s, and creating a life for himself as an artist.
Richard?s collection will be on display at the Seacoast African American Cultural Center through December 30th.
