Revisiting: Black History Portraits

By September 30, 2010August 3rd, 20222 Comments

As I prepare to start another series of Black History portraits — for a 12-month calendar this time around — I wanted to share the original series of five that led to this new project.  This being a new blog & all, I’d hate for the old ones to get lost in the shuffle… So here they are (again).  Featured are: Kenneth Clark (psychologist), Marian Anderson (singer), Paul Robeson (athlete/actor), Mary Church Terrell (writer/civil rights activist), and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
