On September 7, 1917, American modernist Jacob Lawrence was born. Lawrence is celebrated for his visual interpretations of Black life and history, which he often explored in series.

Today, Lawrence is considered one of the leading innovators of modernism in the United States, and a master storyteller dedicated to portraying the lives of Black, poor, and marginalized people. He is especially recognized for his historical series that depict the lives of heroic individuals or the struggles of everyday Black people.

"Pool Parlor" was the first work by Lawrence to enter The Met's collection. This painting evokes a scene along Lenox Avenue, a central street in Harlem known at the time for its many pool parlors.

: A long-overlooked Regency painting is rewriting expectations about how Black sitters were represented in 19th-century Britain. A canvas dating to 1831 portrays two Black girls as central subjects—an unusual depiction at a time when such figures were often relegated to the margins or caricatured. Its rediscovery not only sheds light on the little-known artist Emma Jones, but also raises intriguing questions about the painting’s ties to the abolitionist movement on the eve of slavery’s end in Britain’s colonies.

“To have Black sitters be the focal point is quite incredible,” art historian Charmaine Nelson told BBC’s Fake or Fortune?, which features the painting in its new season. Nelson noted how enslaved Black subjects more often appeared as peripheral attendants in depictions of white sitters at this time. “Here, there’s no one else but them, so this is extraordinary.”

From the series of works on paper of Blues + Jazz Muscians
The blues has played a significant role in shaping African American identity, exploring themes of culture, community, and self-expression. The genre has been used to challenge dominant narratives and stereotypes, providing a platform for African Americans to express their experiences and emotions
Contrary to what some people believe, the blues is not “slave music.” Although it was cultivated by the descendants of slaves, the blues was the expression of freed African Americans. The Great Migration directly influenced the blues’ many evolutions. As Black people moved from the South to northern cities, the music reflected the new urban terrain in which the people set up communities. However, the general belief that the blues comes out of slavery lasts to this day, passed down from its predecessors, including the Black Spirituals, Slave Seculars, Corn Ditties (also known as “Field Hollers” and “Corn-Field Ditties”), and String music. As a folklorist who performs the traditional style of blues music, I have had the opportunity to speak with and interview many who revere the blues, yet are misinformed about the culture and experience of the blues people who created the musical expression.

The beginnings of the blues can be traced to the late 1860s, arguably the most vicious and violent period in the United States. Vigilante justice was at an all-time high, and by 1889, the lynching of African Americans surged dramatically. The bluesman and blueswoman emerged in this difficult period, along with the stories of folk heroes translated to song and the new venues in which the music would be performed. The blues did not speak of the life of the enslaved but of the experiences of freed men and women during the periods of Reconstruction and Jim Crow. It spoke of cotton bales/gins, boll weevil, juke houses, and sharecropping. Farming and sharecropping were the starting places for most of the legendary blues musicians celebrated today, including Charlie Patton, Rubin Lacey, Son House, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters and the most famous in recent generations, B.B. King.

“The black sheep is sometimes the only one telling the truth.”
This quote celebrates the outcast. Often, the person who doesn't conform is the one brave enough to challenge lies. They may be misunderstood—but their honesty is a form of rebellion, and sometimes, the only light in a room of shadows.
