By African-American printmaker Raymond Steth (1917–1997), Evolution of Swing, 1939, lithograph, image: 12 11/16 x 16 3/4 in. (32.2 x 42.6 cm). #art #arthistory #BlackArt #BlackArtist #BlackHistory

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York: “Evolution of Swing illustrates the development of swing music from its origins in rural Africa, represented by the scene at lower right, through the enslavement of Africans by white Americans, to the urban centers of the twentieth century. The subject is representative of the centrality of black American history and culture in Steth’s work. He took cues from the three primary leaders of the Mexican muralism movement—his contemporaries José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—in producing a flowing, allover composition that conveys an intelligible narrative. The print is based on a drawing that Steth used in his application to the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal program that financially supported unemployed artists. He was placed in the Graphics Division of the Federal Art Project in Philadelphia, where he worked for a little over two years and developed the drawing into a lithograph.”

Born Sept. 28, 1954, Dr. Ophelia Garmon-Brown was a trailblazing physician, minister & community leader. She broke barriers for Black women in medicine and devoted her career to health equity and care for underserved communities. We honor her legacy today. #BlackHistory

"The hippest trip in America"

Saturday morning, right after breakfast...house cleaned and the front steps scrubbed. You had to be done by noon, because "Soul Train" was coming on.
