  • Simmie Knox, the Degree of Doctor of Fine Arts and Do Declare You Entitled to All the Rights, Honors, and Privileges to That Degree Appertaining Throughout the World
    simmieUniversity knox of Determined,Delaware resilient, and gifted, you Honorarymoved in life from an early childhood Degree spent on a sharecropper’s farm doctor of fine arts to being the favored portrait artist of cultural icons, judges, politicians, and, your most noted achievement, the President of the United States. Born in 1935, you grew up in the segregated South, a place where it was not even possible for you to take an art class, so instead you began your training under the tutelage of a mailman. Although you were endowed with great artistic skill and you loved drawing, you saw no future for yourself as an artist in the United States of the 1950s, so you joined the military. Later you matriculated at Delaware State University and then the University of Delaware. At first you studied subjects other than art, but even so your talent did not go unnoticed by your professors, and you soon switched your major to art education and earned your degree from UD in 1967. Multi-talented teacher and visual artist, you went on to teach art for 18 years at a series of schools and colleges in the Mid-Atlantic. Simultaneously you earned both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master’s degree from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. At first you produced the abstract art that was favored at the time, and you had success with it, even participating in a group exhibition with top artists at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. But your heart told you that abstract art was not your calling.

We had, for the third consecutive year, a very successful Student Art Show, co-sponsored by the Eastern Montgomery Regional Center, the Fairland Public Library and the Fairland Community Center. We met with East County residents at the Colesville Strawberry Festival, during Burtonsville Day and at other celebrations and activities. We had an important meeting concerning the future of the Burtonsville Shopping Center, in which over 70 residents actively participated, hearing from Chris Jones, representing the owners of the shopping center, as well as those who have concerns about its future development. Our committees have worked very hard to bring to the attention of our elected leaders the needs of our neighbors for health care, education, housing and relieving traffic congestion. In the coming year, we expect to address issues relating to business development, protection of our waterways and environment, developments at and around the Federal Research Center, the Bi-County Transit-way (aka the Inner Purple Line) and ongoing traffic concerns. We also hope to hear from our neighbors regarding issues of importance to them. Our first and our most important ongoing task will be to improve our communications with the residents of the East County. This includes greater use of electronic communications, making it easier to find our website, and developing active communication with East County leaders, volunteers, business people and citizens.

  • The Timeline of African-American History
    THE TIMELINE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY Presented By: Joseph Campbell In order for you to know your future, you must understand the present. To understand the present, you must learn from the past. African History More than 3000 years before Christ and the Christian era, in a time before the European and Asian Invasions, Arab Expansion, British Colonization and Slavery, Ancient Egypt was the home to 30 Egyptian Dynasties from 2920 BC – 332 BC before finally falling to the Roman Empire. Nubians were the first human race on earth and rulers of the Kingdom of Kush (Nubia). The ancient Egyptians adopted most of the Kushite customs and traditions. Nubians lived in Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt along the Nile River. The Egyptian Pyramids are one of the 7 wonders of the world. Egyptians were Africans and their skin was Black just as that of the Nubians. Once upon a time, Africans were the Kings and Queens of Egypt and Nubia. The Egyptian pyramids were built to be tombs of the Pharaohs while Nubian pyramids were symbols of wealth and stature. The pyramids were aligned with the four corners of the compass in order to reach the heavens and were the influence for the pyramids found in China, Peru, Mexico, Indonesia and the tower of Babel in Iraq. The greatness of Egypt is still being talked about and studied to this day. Be proud of your heritage. Be proud of your history. Be proud of being Black because we are the children of the 1st and greatest civilization that has ever lived.

A lot. I knew there was something unique about how a Supreme Court Justice could be known as “Notorious,” but I was unsure about what the bigger question would be. Several people helped me to find that question and have thus influenced the trajectory of this thesis. Thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Galin for inspiring me to pursue visual rhetoric and providing me the opportunity to practice with it. Thank you to Dr. Becky Mulvaney and Dr. Christine Scodari for listening to and commenting on the early stages of this project and for serving on the supervisory committee for this thesis. Thank you to Dr. Noemi Marin for unwavering support and sincere guidance that catapulted me into action, and special thanks to my advisor, Dr. William Trapani, for many, many conversations that went many, many different directions, helping me to find my voice and giving me the confidence to complete this manuscript. I am grateful to the faculty, students, and staff of the School of Communication and Media Studies for the opportunity to learn, teach, and be a part of a community at Florida Atlantic, and I am especially grateful for the friendships I have made along the way.

    Maryland Commission on Artistic Property PROPOSED DONATION FORM Object Information: Artist/Maker: Simmie Knox (b. 1935) Title : Robert M. Bell (b. 1943) Date : 2013 Medium : Oil on canvas Dimensions : 52⅛” x 40⅜" x 3¾" (framed) Images: General Information: This portrait painting was commissioned by the Maryland Judiciary in honor of Chief Judge Robert M.

He was the first African American to serve as chief judge. This portrait includes a photograph of Thurgood Marshall and two volumes of Maryland Reports that relate to the landmark case Bell v. Maryland. Simmie Knox is a Maryland artist who specializes in portraiture.
