To look at 1968, in the incredible historic moment that it is, and think of the arc that has happened since then, to think of the possibilities that we are all privileged to stand in today and imagine that this museum that came out of a moment of great protest and one that was so much about examining the history and the legacy of important African-American artists to the history of art in this country like Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Romare Bearden.
gledati u 1968. godinu, u taj nevjerojatan povijesni trenutak i misliti o luku koji se dogodio odonda, misliti o mogućnostima u kojima svi mi imamo danas privilegiju stajati, i zamislite kako je taj muzej koji je izašao iz trenutka velikog prosvjeda, i u kojem se toliko radi o istraživanju povijesti i ostavštine važnih afričko-američkih umjetnika povijesti umjetnosti u ovoj zemlji poput Jacoba Lawrencea, Normana Lewisa, Romare Beardona.
