Montville U: Art by African Americans: From the Protest of the ‘60s to the Age of Black Lives Matter

Art talk by Janet Mandel

At the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, African American artists were inspired not only to
create amazing works, but to agitate for fundamental change in the art world. After being
marginalized and ignored for so long, they demanded greater representation of their work in
museums, as well as the inclusion of African American scholars and curators in the ranks of
museum professionals. Join us as we celebrate the rich contributions these pioneers made to
American culture and see some of the work that continues to astonish art lovers today. Adults only. Registration required.
