Samella Lewis , Description: In this piece,Samella Lewis, a pioneer of African American art education, is depicted. This work is framing three portraits of Lewis under a triple arch; the different angles of Lewis' head give the print an implied movement that brings the portrait alive. The scenes of African American life below these portraits tie Lewis into a larger African American narrative.
