Our 'quick read' news summary

Henry Martin was a slave who became a janitor and bell ringer at the University of Virginia. He commissioned two portraits, one of which is displayed at the “Holsinger Studio Portrait Project: Visions of Progress” exhibit at the University of Virginia. The portraits show Martin with tremendous dignity and pride, in a way that contrasts with the demeaning and patronizing accounts of his life from white students and alumni who knew him. UVA has not always been a good neighbor to the African American community, and the “Holsinger Studio Portrait Project: Visions of Progress” exhibit aims to show a side of the Black community that gives a more complete view of the people going through Jim Crow segregation in the South.
