Artist Mickalene Thomas Gives Black Women Their Flowers
I'll tell you the truth. They had to escape. They were prisoners. So when I got a limousine, we went down the back stairs and went to Harlem. I said, I'm taking you to Harlem. Nobody will notice you up there. And they didn't. They thought they were a bunch of Spanish dorks. Because it's Spanish Harlem. So they didn't pay them any mind.

We went into Sherman's Barbecue, it was called, 151st and Amsterdam. They went in and they loved it because nobody recognized them. You know, the black guys are eating their ribs and the Spanish guys. And nobody paid them any attention. And it was great. They loved that, that nobody paid them any attention. See how sweet they were? They didn't care about stardom so much.
