I didn't sharpen the photo or add much contrast. Brightened the eyes and smile a touch, skin tone, and levels a bit too. Did my best in post to present a accurate pleasing portrait.

The artist is from Ghana. Truly a great sculptor. He was very friendly. A wonderful person whose sculptures are powerful, gut wrenching, provoke deep reflection, and make us more aware of the terrible suffering the black race has endured. . . .

Black soldiers served in every war our nation has ever fought in. And still this noble race of people, who just want to be equal suffers indignations. I never forgot the kindness showed me by the black race, and black soldiers while stationed overseas and in deep south Alabama in the early seventies and early eighties.
