Her monument extended to teaching the future African American Artists like Jacob Lawrence.

Topics Include: The 1939 World’s Fair, Rose Gold Mussolini “robot,” The Great Migration, Jim Crow Laws, The Harlem Renaissance, phallic monuments, carrot and potato hats, a brief cameo by Basel Ricketbottom III; mudpies, the racist vapors, and the introduction of the Art Slice Museum’s new sculpture wing.
