@artnews Emma Amos attended @AntiochCollege a few years after Coretta Scott King—another in a long line of changemakers who refuse to accept the status quo and sought to win victories for humanity.
Amos's work was recently shown at the Georgia Museum of Art (@GMOA) and will be featured later this year at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, NY (@MWPAI), and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (@philamuseum).
The work of @AntiochCollege alumna Emma Amos ‘58 challenged the status quo in the art world and in society at large through her experimental works which confronted issues of power, race, gender, culture, and the struggle for freedom of expression.

Amos identified the fact that women were often omitted from Black representation in art, and in response she unabashedly made art that reflected the experience of Black women.

The real question is not whether we need a revolution but what kind of revolution we need in the face of the lies, regression, racism & injustice represented by Trump, McConnell & their enablers.
On this day in 1807, Congress banned the international slave trade but allowed slavery to continue for nearly sixty more years. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/OtksS2OECR
African Americans are incarcerated 5x more than whites.
If the desire is to truly bring about criminal justice reform, freeing an innocent #MyonBurrell must be a priority.
