MASSA

About MASSA

On “MASSA” Tyler calls back to the era of slavery in the United States which took place from its founding in 1776 until 1865 when the Thirteenth Amendment was passed, criminalizing slavery outside of prisons. Tyler uses this time period to exemplify the dramatic contrast between the limitations given to African Americans in the 18th and 19th Centuries, to the modern-day U.S.A. where black men such as Tyler himself have forged great amounts of success for themselves. .
