This collectible book documents the Texas Southern University (TSU) art department's first three decades and is considered a vital resource for scholars of Black art history.
The TSU experience is defined by a legacy of using art to preserve African American history and connect the African Diaspora to the Houston community.
The TSU art program was founded and shaped by two legendary artist-educators who established a philosophy rooted in African heritage: John Biggers, a world-renowned muralist and educator who established the TSU Art Department in 1949 and Carroll Harris Simms, a sculptor and ceramicist who co-founded the department.
