The latest series of NappyGram created by Amos Kennedy Jr. He is a printer who put ink on paper for the glory of African Americans. The words of African Americans have largely been excluded from “fine print.”
The term "NappyGram" was coined from Amos Kennedy's personal experience at Indiana University, where a report referred to the hiring of “non-white” members instead of “colored” members.
The origin of NAPPY was both a critique and a humorous take on the issue of racial disparity within academic art departments.
