Reviews

McDaniel crafts a worthy tribute to an overlooked artist driven to 'present an accurate Black image to the public' but constrained by the era's prejudices. The result is a valuable window into Black American life and art in the late 19th and early 20th century South. -- ""Publishers Weekly""
