‘Boone often felt silenced. She felt that her voice could not be heard above the clamor created by better known

read and appreciate her work.

caught in the African American Studies department at Yale University,
was a brilliant progressive thinker and writer about arc. We had many
conversations about the face that arc magazines almost never sought co
print her work, that symposiums on art held by foundations and universities
did not seek to hear her voice.‘
