Taught by Life: Art and Stories
Roosevelt Lewis’s raw, compelling stories and his powerful artwork celebrate African American existence in the southern United States, in an era not very distant from today—a testament to the power of art and human resilience.
The paintings, sculptures, and stories in this book bring to life the black people Lewis grew up with on the Cane River in Central Louisiana and their individual struggles to overcome racism and find a better place in life for themselves and their children.
