This book spotlights a complex art collection established at the intersection of modern art and social justice. In 1963, as civil rights protests swirled across the fiercely segregated state, this liberal arts college became an unlikely hub in Mississippi envisioned as an interracial oasis in which the fine arts are the focus and magnet. Since its founding in 1869 by the abolitionist-led American Missionary Association, Tougaloo has made the fight for equality central to its mission. When leaders of the New York art world began a rich program of artacquisitions at Tougaloo in 1963, the College became a nexus, fostering an interracial oasis in which the fine arts are the focus and magnet. This publication features two essays and approximately thirty-five beautifully reproduced selections from this distinctive collection by diverse artists including Francis Picabia, Jacob Lawrence and Alma Thomas.
