Jacob Lawrence


Today we visited a number of 9th graders at Thurgood Marshall Academy. It was great! Props to Marilyn who "book-talked" Snitch and Fight. She is awesome at leaving the folks wanting more. I promise next time to have something for the dudes. I was focussed on showing off our online stuff and...KAPOW!...the wi-fi at TMA was being worked on that day.

The point is that during my end-of-schpiel quiz-time I talked about Jacob Lawrence and some people didn't know who he was or that he is one of the most important African-American Painters to have ever lived. I promised the students to post a link about him. There.

The Phillips Collection has the Migration Series up right now.
