His son my cousin who the family reffered to as little Jimmie finished high school at age 15 with afull academic scholarship to Brown University Jimmy was 2 years older than me and was like an older brother.

    Beautiful You! It is a Shame that our people do not care about our History as Free People,, and prefer to Wallow in Helplessness. Sista, look for information on the Garifuna/Garinagu of Central America,. The Members of The African Groove Theater Troupe was mentioned in the Declaration of Independence of Guatemala in 1821! The Theater House's main problem stemmed from the Conflicting Personality of Willard Brown, and William Henry Brown's Explosive Temper, he was said to have killed many Hecklers in just 3 yrs. The Theater House was Burned down by members of the Black Freeman League., William Henry Brown Claimed to be THE PRINCE OF SENECA!

    Hello. I enjoyed hearing this story about promoting artists of color in Evanston from Rose Cannon. However, I then took to internet to find more information about Cannon Fine Arts Gallery and was not able to find anything! Is there a website, brick and mortar or online gallery featuring the artists mentioned in this Art Encounter presentation? I hope you will update this piece with access information. My sisters and I enjoyed going to Michael Phillips' art gallery in Evanston before his untimely passing. Thank you. Melody Marion Bickhem
