THE KEEPER
“We are the Keepers of our culture and history. For us to move forward, we must know our history.”

TribeLA Magazine: What is your favorite Indulgence? Do you cook? What is your specialty meal? What is your favorite restaurant in LA where you indulge yourself?
Charles Bibbs: I don’t cook, but I love to eat good food. I am very fortunate because my wife is an excellent cook. One unique thing about her is, that she loves to experiment and try new things.  There is never a dull moment when it comes to eating.  My favorite place to eat in LA is Rock Sugar.

TribeLA Magazine: What is your all-time favorite piece of art that you created and why?
Charles Bibbs: Back in 1968 after two years of college, I learned the history of my people and culture. Things that I didn’t learn in high school. In tribute to that, I did a silk screen called “My Name Is Black.”
