This series is not an attempt to establish Black presence in Yosemite, nor an act of retrospective inclusion, but evidence of its continuation. Tracing a photographic record from 19th-century Black stage driver George Monroe and the Buffalo Soldiers, the park's early protectors, to Black recreators like Titus and Mary Alexander in the 1920s, these contemporary portraits assert a rightful place in this landscape, reclaiming an enduring legacy of stewardship, sanctuary, and connection to the land.
