New Alain Locke Historical Marker at AAMP On Saturday, October 3rd, through a partnership with the @equalityforum , AAMP’s location at the corner of 7th and Arch Streets is the new home of a Pennsylvania Historical Marker honoring Alain Leroy Locke. A graduate of Philadelphia’s Central High School, Locke is considered the father of the Harlem Renaissance. He was the first African-American Rhodes Scholar, a writer, an educator, and a philosopher of race and culture. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University. Equality Forum is a national and international LGBT civil rights organization with an educational focus. Equality Forum coordinates LGBT History Month, produces documentary films, undertakes high-impact initiatives, and presents the largest annual national and international LGBT civil rights summit. Alain Locke was named one of Equality Forum’s 2017 LGBT History Month Icons. Stop by the museum to see the marker today! 📸: @embassy730 #aampmuseum #equalityforum #alainlocke #harlemrenaissance #lgbt (at The African American Museum in Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvQAtWlaNv/?utm_medium=tumblr

On this International Women’s Day, I wanted to thank and show my appreciation to these women who not only do I have the honor of working and growing with, but also for the work they have done in leading their organization’s aim at supporting the lives of others in the name of community, support, and solidarity. #internationalwomensday #villageofartsandhumanities #aampmuseum #blackstarfilmfestival #metoomovement #bluesbabefoundation (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca23OiTJfyb/?utm_medium=tumblr

This morning I was shown how my work was incorporated into the virtual version of @aampmuseum’s current exhibition “The Art of Design” by the amazing Anna Russell Jones and I love it. The website design is great and shows how incredible Jones’ life was. Visiting the African American Museum website is one option, or even better, go see the exhibition in person. It’s going on until Sept. 12th. #aampmuseum #annarusselljones #virtualexhibition #design (at The African American Museum in Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjESzOrxcc/?utm_medium=tumblr
