\nBlack Wall Street: A Case for Reparations<\/em><\/h2>\n

February 15 \u2013 April 23, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curated by Megan C. Austin, Director, University Galleries<\/em><\/p>\n

Black Wall Street: A Case for Reparations<\/strong><\/em> is Kojo\u2019s ongoing series of large-scale paintings that capture the imagined lives of Black professionals in the Greenwood District before the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The community was dubbed \u201cBlack Wall Street\u201d for its thriving culture and wealth in spite of strong segregation laws. The portraits present a spiritually uplifting dedication to the people who called Greenwood their home over a century ago. The exhibition is a sanctuary and homage to Black Americans through a reimagining of past lives.<\/p>\n
