Summary
African American artist Willie Birch lectures on his childhood and education as an artist in the segregated South, his first discovery of museum art as a member of the Air Force stationed in Europe, and his subsequent exposure to African American artists on his return to civilian life. Like his art, the talk is rich with references to African and African American political, social and cultural history from Egypt to modern times, and the artist's interest in subject matter, symbolism, and layers of meaning is almost contagious. The works shown in the slides are named
