The guitars range in style from more traditional to fully abstract using a variety of wood - including lumber from trees once used to lynch Black men. Now battling multiple myeloma and suffering from diabetes, Freeman lives and works in a small storefront shop in rural Fountain, North Carolina, still in pursuit of the elusive sound, surrounded by his tools, materials, and other objects that speak to his lifelong conflict with racism in this region. FREEMAN VINES is the story of a true fine artist who has found a way to create while surviving in a complex world. Written by producers See less
