In a quiet corner of the Richard Beavers Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., owner Richard Beavers adjusted a projector, preparing to showcase Clarence Heyward’s solo exhibit, American Fiction. The space, apart from his marketing associate, was empty—a fitting setting for a conversation about identity, perception, and the realities of Black men in America. Beavers’s dedication to Black art moved him to call Clarence Heyward and discuss his exhibit, American Fiction for Sugarcane.
