Glenn Ligon's "One Black Day" (2012) is reproduced from Black History Month Staff Pick, 'Four Generations: The Joyner / Giuffrida Collection of Abstract Art,' edited by Courtney J. Martin and published by @gregoryrmiller In conversation with @thelmagolden @glennligon says, "I think the beauty of a date is that we all bring our own references and histories to it. Perhaps many people won’t remember [November 6, 2012] as the date of Obama’s second election. But for people of our generation, that was a crucial day, a day that lives in us, in a way. But other things happened on that day, too. So I think anyone seeing the piece will think about what they were doing on that day—go back to their diaries, go to Google, kind of fill in the blanks, you know—and find their own meaning in the date."
