Untitled 1992

Thomas Roma’s 1992 black and white photograph, *Untitled*, is a powerful and intimate portrait of a preacher delivering a sermon. The image focuses on the preacher's passionate delivery, with his hand raised in a gesture of emphasis. His face is filled with emotion and his posture reflects his engagement with his congregation. The composition is balanced, with the preacher in the foreground and a framed image of a figure possibly representing a biblical scene behind him. The photograph evokes a sense of both spirituality and community. This work, part of Roma's broader photographic series, **"A Black Church in America"** (1988-1992), is a testament to the importance of faith in the lives of African Americans.
