The images in the Brooklyn Blues lightbox exhibition each have a cool blue tone or mood lifted from Freeman’s cityscapes. The scenes span from the aspirational architecture of the Prospect Park boathouse or the expansive landscape of the Brooklyn Bridge where the city meets the river, to contrasting quiet everyday scenes of institutional brick buildings. Freeman manages to reveal both the ideal and the real with a personal eye that makes music out of this series of large-scale photographs. Light, color and silhouette glow in schoolyard puddles and in apartment building windows at dusk. Kids at play are bathed in a blue light, and are unguarded and happily occupied. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1548275219273-PYI7T4CBEJKBQ4SPTI0E/_MG_0002.jpg Brooklyn Blues (Exhibition) Freeman collaborated with MTA Arts & Design to create a series of photographic moments that would captivate commuters while passing through the Atlantic Avenue - Barclays subway station.

The Benedict College senior is a first-generation college student, military kid, daughter of an immigrant and chairperson of the school’s NAACP chapter. She grew up in a household of Democrats. Whatever mom and dad says goes, so she believed she would inherit their beliefs walking in to cast her ballot. “Everybody's so quick to be revolutionary after something happens.

That’s because he spent roughly the last 13 years incarcerated. Shealy, who’s originally from Philadelphia but moved to Columbia with his family, spent two separate “tours,” as he describes it, in the prison system. He was released on Dec. 31. “I wasn't able to get my voter registration card due to the fact that I was a felon or what not. And I wanted to vote, but I couldn't.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588256448705-ABB5NYHWT1T996OYJ5UM/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_106.jpg Black at the Ballot The statue of George Washington on the steps of the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588254948108-8HI7OYXK9PYMXFOV1GU5/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_038.jpg Black at the Ballot - Darrell Goodwin, 50, local business owner Darrell Goodwin wants you to know that socialism isn’t scary. An avid Sanders supporter, the 50-year-old businessman was born and raised in Columbia. He explained that he will likely be supporting the Vermont senator for a second time, primarily because of Sanders’ enduring case for democratic socialism. “I think a lot of people are scared of socialism because they think it's more like communism, but it's not.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588262073635-E73A3EP7PLMLRLTX0FV2/Untitled-2.jpg Black at the Ballot A customer has their hair cut at Stroy's Barber & Styling shop in Columbia, South Carolina.

At first glance, it seems the two men are worlds apart. Jones is a 30-year-old Black man from Columbia. Buttigieg is a white man from South Bend, Indiana. Jones attended a nearby historically Black university, Allen University, while Buttigieg attended Harvard and is an Oxford Rhodes Scholar. “Just to see him and his partner go throughout the United States together, hand in hand, spreading the same message of basically love and peace and unity and honestly that right there puts him at the forefront for me.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588255181579-49UZP2HXTKC5J8WMXUEU/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_047.jpg Black at the Ballot - Ashley Harrington, 20, College Democrats organizer It’s the day of the Spring Student Organization Fair at the University of South Carolina. Ashley Harrington, the event director for the USC College Democrats, is headed to her organization’s table to encourage students to vote and get involved. The third-year political science major and statewide president for the College Democrats of America showed up to campus that morning wearing a “Badass” shirt with the Democratic donkey, clearly indicating her politics. “I'm always sick of the candidate that shows up to a church and just walks away. That’s just a trope that occurs and occurs.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588256206140-UW7RODEG1WRFWF1PAXHS/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_062.jpg Black at the Ballot - Roger Leakes, 79, Republican Roger Leakes is a self-proclaimed “country boy.” His political stances are firmly Republican and he voted for Trump in 2016. The 79-year-old said that his main concern right now is making sure his quality of life isn’t compromised. Not by plans to address the student loan debt crisis, policies against fracking or monthly $1,000 checks in the mail that would be coming out of his taxes. Leakes believes everyone should be self-reliant, as he says he and his family have been for years. “I'm concerned about things like college tuition being paid. I don't think we should even consider anything like that.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588264148648-OBFP6L346CKXYQYEJ3HI/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_095.jpg Black at the Ballot A Trump supporter shouts and waves a Trump 2020 flag during the MLK Day celebration at the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina.

The 51-year-old retired veteran, who served in the Army from 1984 to 2004, stood outside the Zion Baptist Church at the MLK Day march to the Statehouse holding a sign for Sanders and wearing a T-shirt that read: “If you support these programs, the military, the police, firemen, national parks and social security, then you already support democratic socialism.” “As retired military, I'm on single-payer, government-run insurance. There are some veterans that are 100%, that can do some side jobs to make extra money. I'm not one of them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588264251048-HLA2ENLYI4216XVVZQ6D/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_004.jpg Black at the Ballot - Lyric Swinton, 21, issue-driven voter Lyric Swinton has one immediate concern when she heads to the ballot box: Which candidate is best suited to address the student debt crisis? The 21-year-old University of South Carolina senior grew up going to the polls with her mom and grandma, and they instilled in her the importance of voting in every election once she turned 18. She’d just made the cut in the 2016 presidential election, when she cast her vote for Hillary Clinton. This year, she’s leaning toward Warren because “she has a plan for everything.” “As a college student about to graduate with student loans on the horizon for me, student debt is 100% a major concern.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588264866808-1G4IBOLXYNBPWCH8FRU7/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_068.jpg Black at the Ballot The South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina.

I voted in local elections and I plan to vote in the presidential election. Every election matters to me because people died for me to have it and if I don’t use my right to vote, then I can’t complain.

I just feel like it’s something that I’m entitled to do so I take advantage of it. However, I can remember during my lifetime where there was a time when Blacks had to really almost fight to be able to vote, to register to vote. But as I said I feel like now that we have overcome that, that I am entitled to the privilege of voting, I take advantage of it. Even if it’s just a little primary, I go right out there and vote. Sometimes I go it’s not even in my district and they tell me, ‘Oh, this is not your district, Mrs. Mack.’ Oh, well I just heard you’re supposed to vote, so I go and vote if they let me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282195365-4DW6AVU6A3KN9JW8RLX5/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_005.jpg Black Voter - Gary Knight, 26-year-old physics, chemistry and engineering teacher, from Columbia, South Carolina: I’m just exercising the right that I’ve always had. For me, the historical context doesn’t hit quite the same as it would for my parents, because it’s always been this way for me. I’ve always known that I had the opportunity to vote once I turned 18. I’m the type of person where if I know I can do something, when I actually do it, it’s not that big of a deal. It just felt like a regular day, just voting, because I’m an American citizen. That’s what I should do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282196237-SI7OU7X4YU70JR7BPTS7/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_016.jpg Black Voter - Jettiva S.

And I just feel as though I’m doing what I can to just put us in a better position and make some change happen. Russell J. Earle Jr. That’s the only thing we got that’s supposed to be fair. That’s it! Jettiva S.

My vote has influence now and it can influence not just our present but the future to come, for generations to come. And so you never know exactly what one vote may do and how things would play out because of that.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282197173-G8MWGZK3DZ1II4MSG93X/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_035.jpg Black Voter - Bryant Carlos, a 24-year-old barber at Stroy’s Barber and Styling Shop, from Columbia, South Carolina: Being able to exercise the right to be able to vote, it’s good. Just being able to go out there and be able to do my part and to be able to vote. It ain’t really nothing like too extreme for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282197523-YGNYEEB3MAQF97HW0N5H/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_051.jpg Black Voter - Adia Caldwell, a 20-year-old junior at the University of South Carolina, from Marietta, Georgia: I think being a Black voter right now, I think we hold a lot of weight. Honestly, I think if you can get the Black vote, you can get everyone else too. I think a lot of people have respect for what we have to say and who we tend to back, if that makes any sense. I think being a Black voter holds a lot of responsibility today and I think it will inspire change. I think we hold a lot of power in this election, for real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282197377-NO66HKIBN8PXJ9R96EKL/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_040.jpg Black Voter - Raymond Dixon, a 23-year-old student at Benedict College, a historically Black college in Columbia, South Carolina. He is currently serving in the National Guard. It means a lot because I could put my opinion in — my voice. As soon as I could vote, I registered. My grandparents got me registered, and I voted. That means a lot to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282690008-LPFWRF49WSVKLWRZ8CK5/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_060.jpg Black Voter - Lee M. Coles, a 56-year-old former military officer, from Georgetown, South Carolina: It’s just a civic duty. We have to teach our kids. I got three kids — three daughters — but it wasn’t about Being Black to vote. You have to vote, in order for you to participate in the laws and in the government; you got to vote, you have to participate. So I never looked at it as just being a Black voter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588282198005-QF64N1UJAB2QSQKTEDSV/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_055.jpg Black Voter - Janel Moore, a 20-year-old junior majoring in global studies on a pre-law track at the University of South Carolina: It’s not something that I take very lightly. It’s something that has not been afforded to me or people who look like me for long. And a lot more people who look like me still don’t have the right to vote because they’re in jail because of unfair laws. I feel like I’m not just voting for myself, and I just take that as an incredible privilege. https://demetriusfreeman.com/here-there daily 0.75 2022-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664141595906-9JQG8HQ63ADEX950BTR8/DFreeman_NP_WH_Sept7_001.JPG Here & There Politics Former President Barack Obama kisses his wife former first lady Michelle Obama after they unveiled their official White House portraits during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664141595906-9JQG8HQ63ADEX950BTR8/DFreeman_NP_WH_Sept7_001.JPG Here & There Politics Former President Barack Obama kisses his wife former first lady Michelle Obama after they unveiled their official White House portraits during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140752115-IMEH1J6M78FEG3VEELRV/DFreeman_NP_WH_Feb14_036.JPG Here & There Politics First Lady Dr. Jill Biden gives second Grade students from Aiton Elementary School a tour of the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140752607-9QEFN7KOWWLFKL0TO3J5/DFreeman_NP_WH_JAN27_050.JPG Here & There Politics Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer holds up a copy of the Constitution during the announcement of his retirement with US President Joe Biden in the Roosevelt Room at the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140757740-50N02C2NQRYECDEMFPOS/DFreeman_NP_WH_November18_044.JPG Here & There Politics Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Director of National Drug Control Policy Rahul Gupta at the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140757307-TB0HQXCKBUQSZDP4A2DK/DFreeman_NP_WH_October4_005.JPG Here & There Politics First Lady Jill Biden reading a newspaper on Marine One as it lands on the South Lawn at the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140758769-7EKFT3RLI742BRI7NF41/DFreeman_NP_WH_October8_002.JPG Here & There Politics A US Secret Service Officer watch as United State Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) records a video following US President Joe Biden signing of the “HAVANA Act of 2021” and the “K-12 Cybersecurity Act of 2021,” into law at the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140759952-DHB53MHW5L6PXMLHER6R/DFreeman_NP_WH_October13_001.JPG Here & There Politics United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg does television hits at the White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664140761707-G81NLB8JB8W8KTLNMJQO/DFreeman_NP_WH_September9_050.JPG Here & There Politics Vice President Kamala Harris hosting a roundtable on reproductive rights in the Ceremonial Office of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664147214664-ESDOCG140GES51VBBENG/DFreeman_NP_WH_October8_051.JPG Here & There Politics US President Joe Biden jogs down a wheelchair ramp for an event and signing of a proclamation to restoring protections for two national monuments on the North Lawn at the White House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1664147446002-4GOS8PYG77JO68EWBORB/DFreeman_NP_WH_Mar2822_022.JPG Here & There Politics US President Joe Biden holds a notes card with the title “tough Putin Q&A talking points” after delivering remarks regarding his Budget for the Fiscal Year 2023 in the State Dining Room of The White House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1663874677023-5KCQ06DPANGUI5LQZZ9M/DFreeman_NP_RNCWASHINGTONDC119.JPG Here & There Politics Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, gives a speech on screen during the Republican National Convention at the Andrew W.

A multigenerational, largely Black crowd listened as the candidates tried to win them over. “Black at the Ballot” is an exploration of what it means to be a black voter today by representing a variety backgrounds, values, opinions, and hesitations about voting. https://demetriusfreeman.com/black-voter daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58948f571b631b4834f0c394/1588281979099-VJL0PAPCE9SNS2Z48R53/DFreeman_Votersofcolor_002.jpg The Black Voter - What Does Being A Black Voter Mean To You Today? This year marks the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which gave Black men the right to vote. This year is also considered one of the most crucial presidential elections in recent history. A lot is at stake, especially for Black Americans who, despite being historically disempowered yet at the forefront of progressive movements, are often erased from in-depth conversations about the U.S. electorate. “What Does Being A Black Voter Mean To You Today” is a portrait series of residents of Columbia, South Carolina, about the importance of voting rights 150 years after the 15th Amendment’s ratification.
