BIOGRAPHY / HISTORY - 67 MINUTES
Description: Harlem-born artist, author and activist Faith Ringgold painted some of the most truthful and empowering representations of African Americans during the civil rights and women’s movements of the 1960s and 1970s. At the time, the art establishment dismissed her seminal American People series as political art by a woman, and a black woman at that. Now in her 90s and a resident of Englewood, New Jersey, Ringgold is considered one of the most important African American artists, whose work is increasingly relevant today.
