This mural, “Take My Hand,” was painted by Michael Rosato, an artist who lives in Dorchester County, Maryland, where Harriet Tubman was born and lived in slavery for more than 25 years.

Incredible, powerful art.

"The most successful and the most popular is a young woman called Dolly Rathebe. Miss Rathebe is the biggest 'name' in Black entertainment today and has a following any popular Hollywood singer would be proud of. She has an excellent voice, a lovely face and what Americans have called either 'Oomph' or 'It' to a degree that would be the envy of most Hollywood 'It' girls. She has made a number of records that are 'best sellers' and has also appeared in some of the handful of films made for Blacks during the war period when the White Liberals exercised a strong influence."
