Reposted from @hannahuzor . In the Studio of @hannahuzor where she explores visual research of her muse Sara Forbes Bonetta and develops artistic studies for her final portrait which has now been unveiled to the public! . Our Creative Director @wr.designs_ researched the life of Sara Forbes Bonetta extensively in his 2019 Dissertation "Pageboys to Protégés, Three Centuries of Style" which explored the clothing influential black figures wore in paintings and photography of colonial Britain as a means to reinstate their position within society. Warren says "It is wonderful that Sara is finally getting the recognition she deserves and now stands in her rightful place in history". . #artschool #saraforbesbonetta #blackandbritish #britishhistory #blackhistory #nigerianhistory #britishempire #blackhistoryart #arthistory #historicalart #artinlondon #contemporaryart #art (at Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGZbViZHrtu/?igshid=1p9otxowxkeq7

#BlackHistorySeries Day 5 Josephine Baker "Josephine Baker (born Freda Josephine McDonald; 3 June 1906 – 12 April 1975) was a French vedette, singer and entertainer, whose career was centered primarily in Europe and in particular in her adoptive country of France. She was an African-American expatriate who later renounced her U.S. citizenship and became a French national. During her early career she was also renowned as a dancer, and was among the most celebrated performers to headline in the lavish revues of the Folies Bergère in Paris. Her performance in the revue Un Vent de Folie in 1927 caused a sensation in Paris, with Baker in her costume consisting of only a girdle of bananas becoming not only her most iconic image but also a symbol of the jazz age and the 1920's. She was celebrated by all of the great artists and intellectuals of the era, with various circles dubbing her the "Black Pearl", the "Bronze Venus", as well as the "Creole Goddess". Born in St. Louis, Missouri, she renounced her U.S. citizenship to become a citizen of France in 1937 upon her marriage to Jean Lyon. Baker was the first person of African descent to become a world-famous entertainer and to star in a major motion picture, in the silent film La Sirène des Tropiques (fr) (1927). Baker refused to perform for segregated audiences in the United States and is noted for her contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. In 1968 she was offered unofficial leadership in the movement in the United States by Coretta Scott King, following Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. She was also known for helping the French Resistance during World War II, and received the French military honor, the Croix de guerre and was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur by General Charles de Gaulle." - via wikipedia.org See PhenomRadio.com & TheHypeMagazine.com #ColorHD #DoResearch #SeekKnowledge #SeekTruth #BlackConsciousness #BlackNationalism #BlackFamily #KMBA #WorldHistory #BlackHistory #AfricanHistory #1000Network #NetworkDistribution #AmericanHistoryX 👑🌟#ArtWork c/o @slimthephenom #SlimBabyGFX blackhistoryseries.tumblr.com 🌟👑 #BlackHistoryArt #Artwork #Photoshop #Art (at Lubbock, Texas)

#PatriciaEraBath (born November 4, 1942 in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City) is an American ophthalmologist, inventor and academic. She has broken ground for women and African Americans in a number of areas. Prior to Bath, no woman had served on the staff of the Jules Stein Eye Institute, headed a post-graduate training program in ophthalmology, or been elected to the honorary staff of the UCLA Medical Center (an honor bestowed on her after her retirement). Before Bath, no black person had served as a resident in ophthalmology at New York University and no black woman had ever served on staff as a surgeon at the UCLA Medical Center. Bath is the first African-American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. The holder of four patents, she also founded the company of the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness in Washington, D.C. Bath holds four patents in the United States. @slimthephenom @thehypemagazinenetwork PhenomRadio.com - https://goo.gl/biKXcZ TheHypeMagazine.com - https://goo.gl/auBJ8W #ColorHD #DoResearch #SeekKnowledge #SeekTruth #BlackConsciousness #BlackNationalism #BlackFamily #KMBA #WorldHistory #BlackHistory #AfricanHistory #1000Network #NetworkDistribution #AmericanHistoryX 👑🌟#ArtWork c/o @slimthephenom #SlimBabyGFX blackhistoryseries.tumblr.com 🌟👑 #BlackHistorySeries Day 14 #BlackHistoryArt #Artwork #Photoshop #Art (at Lubbock, Texas)

#BettyShabazz (May 28, 1934 – June 23, 1997), born Betty Dean Sanders and also known as Betty X, was an American educator and civil rights advocate. She was the wife of Malcolm X. Shabazz grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where her foster parents largely sheltered her from racism. She attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where she had her first encounters with racism. Unhappy with the situation in Alabama, she moved to New York City, where she became a nurse. It was there that she met #MalcolmX and, in 1956, joined the Nation of Islam. The couple married in 1958.
