The main point is not about the relationship between African-American art and other art in the Americas. Rather, it's about the African influence on art in the Americas. Additionally, the passage is focused on Porter's achievements, not his motivations.

The main point is not about the relationship between African-American art and other art in the Americas. Rather, it's about the African influence on art in the Americas. We also don’t know what Porter’s most important achievement was.
