i recently purchased a wonderful magazine that caters to altered books. but as i was looking through the book; there was not one image of people of color.

i begin to wander around some of the websites and could not find anything. i found one image cd but it seem to mainly consist of pre slaver and post slavery. and of course the famous images of rosa parks and martin luther king.

but i am looking for something that is a little more modern that reprsent the people of color. i love the images of angels and cherubs and such but they have none that are of color.

can anybody help me out with this? i really do like the idea of altered books; but it would be nice to open a magazine and see a book or two with images that represent people of color.

i even looked through a rather informative book on the subject of altered books but there were no examples of images of people of color.

i even looked in the back of the magazine at the various product companies and i could not find one that said they also have clip art or images that represent people of various ethnicites?

can anybody tell me why and how i can find images that represent more of who i am?

thank you,

p.s. i want to make a altered book that consist of my soul and spirit and esscence. with beautiful images of brown people.
