Black Art In America taped the panel discussion and Artist Talk, November 19, 2015.

Shelia Pree Bright’s most current work, 1960Now evolved from Bright’s public art series 1960Who, a street art gallery showing epic-sized portraits of unknown youth leaders of the 1960s who where members of the Civil Rights Movement, but not widely known. The series launched 4 years ago in Atlanta which received national attention as it was covered by Huffington Post in 2013. Bright placed larger than life portraits of young people of the 1960’s on walls in downtown Atlanta. The portraits showed faces of HBCU members of the Atlanta Student Movement and Freedom Riders from Atlanta to Connecticut.

I first met Barbara Bullock while attending the opening reception and lecture of A Collaborative Language: Selection from the Experimental Printmaking Institute (EPI) now in the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) on September 15th, 2017 we both were exhibiting in. I introduced myself to her. She quickly mentioned how she has been a long standing member of Black Art In America and visits the site often. I don’t know how we got on the subject. I was scheduled to call Moe Brooker to drop by his studio for a visit and that’s when she said I should visit her and she was close by.

The following audio, video and pictures will act as archives of the time we spent getting to know one another and quickly becoming fast friends. I will always remember that day in Germantown, the other side of Philly. – Najee Dorsey

DOW MICHAEL EDWARDS - Partner in the law firm of Irwin, Fritchie, Urquhart & Moore LLC and a member of the Mohawk Hunters Mardi Gras Indian tribe. For Spyboy Dow, making a suit has become a very spiritual process because it causes him to reflect on what his ancestors had to go through not only as enslaved people, but in the throes of segregation in city of New Orleans. “The reasons the Indians are out there is because black folks could not go out on St. Charles Avenue and participate in the Mardi Gras parades. "There is no more glorious feeling than I felt the first time and every time since I put on my suit on Mardi Gras day. It is one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done.” - Dow Edwards
