A Woman’s Journey: the Life and Work of Artis Lane celebrated Lane’s 50-year artistic career and documented the evolution of form from mere image to Tethereal symbol. The exhibition centered on the body, especially its hierarchical positions manifested in purely physical form—figures laden with emotion and persona—and finally as the essence of a greater consciousness. The artwork mir- rors Lane’s own progression from the secular to the sacred and secures her posi- tion as one of California’s most thoughtful and prolific living artists. Artis Lane is a phenomenon. At 80 years of age, she is a significant presence in visual art, having lived and worked as an artist for most of her life. Her patron base is for- midable, painting presidents, first ladies, and many of the nation’s elite, including the Getty’s, the Annenberg’s, the Hammer’s, and Oprah Winfrey. No other black woman artist can boast such longevity and access. Numerous celebrities have posed for Lane’s portraits, each interaction helping to sustain her, while her exposure to diverse aesthetic principles influenced her con- cepts of the body and furthered her ontological and artistic pursuits. In this latter effort, she honors a woman’s body as temple, and through her sculpture, Lane reveals to men their potential for divinity. 1 CLS Journal of Museum Studies, Volume 2, Number 1 Abstract. The California African American Museum (CAAM) in Los Angeles organ- ized a retrospective exhibition featuring the artwork of Artis Lane. The decision to cu- rate a retrospective was based upon her longevity in the fine arts arena and her prolific work in the public sector. This first retrospective of the Black Canadian-American was an exploration of an artist’s work that expands over fifty years. The exhibition in- cluded self-portraits, as well as representations of family and friends; busts and paint- ings of historical figures and celebrities; and studio nudes. It featured both drawings and sculptures, from traditional to more abstract that evolved into her current work of metaphysical sculptural pieces. For popular culture interest it featured a gallery of painted portraits, including Oprah Winfrey, Aretha Franklin, and President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The retrospective exhibition was shown at the California African American Museum from September 27, 2007 through March 9, 2008. Lane’s ultimate goal is to portray intangible spiritual elements, wherein godly characteristics can define the soul. Her work can be seen as a pedagogical instru- ment to guide viewers toward a universal understanding of the power of truth and righteousness.

The event was also supported by the Harriet Tubman Historical Society. Descendants came from as far west as Seattle, WA, as far north as Canada, and as far south as Miami, FL. Many who attended brought narratives, artifacts, and cherished photos of people who participated in the UGRR. "The weekend was a huge success, and we are already planning for next year," stated Eve Elder-Mayes, Director of Marketing and Programming for the William Still UGRR Foundation. To learn more about William Still and the UGRR go to http://www.undergroundrr.com . The three-day festivities were kicked off by unveiling a replica of a statue of the famous businessman, abolitionist, and writer, William Still, sculpted by Philip Sumptor. A campaign was launched to raise funds for the 6-foot statue and to seek it a permanent home in Philadelphia. Famfest also included workshops, re-enactments, a book fair, and UGRR exhibits from across the country.

  • When Rosa Parks Died in 2005, She Lay in Honor in the Rotunda of the Capitol, the First Woman and Only the Second Person of Color to Receive That Honor
    >> When Rosa Parks died in 2005, she lay in honor in the Rotunda of the Capitol, the first woman and only the second person of color to receive that honor. When Congress commissioned a statue of her, it became the first full-length statue of an African American in the Capitol. It was unveiled on what would have been her 100th birthday. I sat down with some of my colleagues to talk about their personal memories of these events at the Capitol and the stories that they like to tell about Rosa Parks to visitors on tour.

  • Underground Railroad Byway Delaware
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 3.0 Intrinsic Resource Assessment The following Intrinsic Resource Assessment chapter outlines the intrinsic resources found along the corridor. The National Scenic Byway Program defines an intrinsic resource as the cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural or scenic qualities or values along a roadway that are necessary for designation as a Scenic Byway. Intrinsic resources are features considered significant, exceptional and distinctive by a community and are recognized and expressed by that community in its comprehensive plan to be of local, regional, statewide or national significance and worthy of preservation and management (60 FR 26759). Nationally significant resources are those that tend to draw travelers or visitors from regions throughout the United States. National Scenic Byway CMP Point #2 An assessment of the intrinsic qualities and their context (the areas surrounding the intrinsic resources). The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway offers travelers a significant amount of Historical and Cultural resources; therefore, this CMP is focused mainly on these resource categories. The additional resource categories are not ignored in this CMP; they are however, not at the same level of significance or concentration along the corridor as the Historical and Cultural resources. The resources represented in the following chapter provide direct relationships to the corridor story and are therefore presented in this chapter. A map of the entire corridor with all of the intrinsic resources displayed can be found on Figure 6. Figures 7 through 10 provide detailed maps of the four (4) corridors segments, with the intrinsic resources highlighted. This Intrinsic Resource Assessment is organized in a manner that presents the Primary (or most significant resources) first, followed by the Secondary resources.

  • MARY ANN SHADD CARY: a WRITER WHO SHAPED HISTORY Kikachukwu Otiono Colonel by Secondary School, Ottawa, ON
    MARY ANN SHADD CARY: A WRITER WHO SHAPED HISTORY Kikachukwu Otiono Colonel By Secondary School, Ottawa, ON In Canadian history, there is little mention of the influential writers of Afro- FIRST PLACE: Caribbean ancestry who have significantly contributed to shaping our country’s $5,000 diverse heritage and identity. Even sparser in discussion are Black Canadian women who have challenged how we perceive gender, fiction and race. Mary Ann Shadd Cary was one of these women, for she broke down insurmountable barriers for female writers of colour in North America. For young, black female writers, Shadd and other great writers are role models as pioneers in the craft, brave women who wielded their pens like swords; they cut through the throes of discrimination and oppression with defiance and boldness in their written works. Mary Ann Shadd Cary was born in Delaware in 1853 to abolitionist parents and was educated by Quakers in Pennsylvania. Although she was born an American, her contributions to Canadian society led to her recognition as a Person of National Historical Significance in Canada in 1994. Her journey to Canada began in 1850 when the Fugitive Slave Act was passed in the United States, requiring officials and citizens of all states to capture slaves and return them to their masters. Seeking refuge and freedom from what many abolitionists nicknamed the “Bloodhound Law,” Shadd and her family fled to Canada. But Mary Ann Shadd Cary did not let blatant racism quench her thirst for change and equality. Her dedication to the Black community in Canada led her to establish The Provincial Freeman in 1853.
