Abstract
“Alone in a Crowded Room” is a story about a young black man navigating through the dangerous yet beautiful landscape of America. Searching for his own path in a foreign land he seeks answers for who/what he is and he who/what wants to be. This story is conveyed through music, poetry, photography, philosophy all informed by the works of black artists. Some of these artists and philosophers include: Roy Hargrove, W.E.B Dubois, Ralph Ellison, Nikki Giovanni and Gil Scott-Heron
