The Masculinity Project: Andrew (Invisible Men) 6mins
Produced by Angela Tucker
Today the face of homelessness in America is this: a black man, around 40 years old, living in a large urban city. The Invisible Men series are artful, experimental snapshots into the lives of two formerly homeless men in New York City. Here Andrew, a formerly homeless man, who lost his mobility from frostbite on the streets, ponders the strife that preceded his current home. How does Andrew’s story spark a fruitful national conversation on this issue?

The fact that it is titled, "Invisible Men" is very interesting in the sense that these men are rather invisible to the communities in which they live. As homelessness is on the rise, I feel we should all examen the approach taken toward this illness. Wonderful work, Angela!

African Americans began a history of homelessness and poverty both physically and mentally when we were stolen from Africa, and displaced in the Americas. We were imprisoned both mentally and physically once they put the shackles on our feet, hands, waists and necks. From there our ancestors were put on board slave ships and sent to different parts of the Americas and elsewhere.
