I understand the expense.

I understand the work involved to properly handle the images and digitize them.


I understand that its not just $40 million...its $40 million plus the moving, the digitizing, etc.

What I am saying...is that it is worth it for Black folks to own our images.

If England ever has a financial crisis that threatens its ability to maintain its commonwealth....do you think the Queen of England would put the crown jewels up for sale? Nope.

Yes, its a business, but the very idea of selling this collection to whoever walks in with the money is just repugnant to me personally.
