Aaron Douglas is called the Father of Black American Art. The Topeka, Kans - born artist was a leader in the Harlem Renaissance and a freedom fighter for the "universality of humankind." Professor David Driskell is considered the foremost authority on Aaron Douglas. He spoke this past weekend at the Museum to celebrate the acquisition of a new work.
In case you missed the lecture, you can hear an interview with Professor Driskell on the local NPR affiliate KCUR-FM.
