The Ashanti people of Ghana’s symbol for God and creation and Buddhism’s lotus symbol for the flowering of enlightenment are united in Billie Veitch–Clemmon’s Namaste. (The “namaste” greeting in Hindi recognizes the common spirit between two persons as they meet or part.)

The conjoined imagery also symbolizes the theme of this issue: Africa and Asia joined through the visual art of African Americans whose roots also go into Europe and the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Nameless people in the new world evolving into colored people…negroes…Negroes into Black Americans evolving into African Americans in the 21st century and among them, visual artists affirming their multifaceted racial identity as they evolve beyond it.
