Happy Veterans Day!

#HappyVeteransDay to all the Vets and thank you for your service! I wanted to do a quick reel highlighting some works that focus on the lives of our heroes. Many black artists throughout history were soldiers and many have contributed some amazing visuals to life at War and Home. These artists #HoracePippin, #JacobLawrence, #CharlesWhite, and #JohnWoodrowWilson have works that I felt were apropos for today’s reflections. What are some of your favorite works that highlight the sacrifices and triumphs of our soldiers?

Horace Pippin, American (1888 – 1946) “The Ending of the War, Starting Home” (1930-1933)
