From the Inside Flap
Portraits of Purpose is a visual chronicle of 127 Boston-based African American leaders and their allies who have continued the pursuit of freedom and justice in a post-civil rights era. Renowned Boston photographer Don West and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kenneth J. Cooper team up to capture the images and tell the stories of these individuals of conscience, while best-selling author Charles Ogletree Jr. writes the foreword. In racially turbulent times, these stories provide succor and inspiration for all people who are weary of oppositional politics and yearning to come together across differences of race, ethnicity, and class to create a better city, nation, and world.
About the Author
Don West began his photography career as a freelance and news photographer, capturing images of people of color in all facets of community life. In the 1980s, he worked for United Press International (UPI) and Boston's black weekly paper, The Bay State Banner. West has since gone on to a host of assignments with major newspapers and magazines. His photographs capture the unique spirit of people at work, with their families, and in struggle for what they believe. His editorial and documentary assignments have taken him throughout the United States, Latin America, Africa, China, Europe, and Israel.
