Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, 1963-1983, is a powerful exhibition at the de Young Museum, focusing on art made in two pivotal decades. These works were forged in a crucible of institutionalized racism and codified prejudice that has pervaded America for centuries. Docent Alfred Escoffier will share how these African American artists use art and culture as catalysts for self-definition, self-empowerment, and self-determination.
