Description:
Presented by Ohio Historical Center / Ohio Historical Society
Saturday, December 12, 2009 - Sunday, February 28, 2010 Twenty-two frames of exquisitely detailed illustratioins tell the story of Jesus' crucifixion with 20th-century Black people in primary roles. Rejecting the stereotypes that were becoming popular in the 1930s, Rohan Crite sought to depict Black people as ordinary citizens, and he did so by connecting people of color to a larger, familiar and often religious context.
