Part I: Wednesday, June 19 from 7-8pm on Zoom
Part II: Thursday, June 20 from 7-8pm on Zoom
Between the two world wars, millions of African Americans set out on an odyssey known as the Great Migration. In the course of this journey, they created a new identity that would alter the landscape of modern art. Part I of this story will explore the rich contributions these pioneers made to American culture from the Harlem Renaissance through the Civil Rights Movement. Part II will continue the saga from the age of Black Power protests of the ‘60s through the present day. Join us as we celebrate the rich contributions these pioneers made to American culture that continue to astonish art lovers today. Janet Mandel, award winning teacher and speaker, will be the presenter.
