On December 6, a number of art scholars were hosted by the Delaware Art Museum to deliver a symposium in connection with their current exhibit, Jazz Age Illustration.

My presentation speaks to Laura Wheeler Waring's ground-breaking contributions to "Representing the Race" through the art of illustration in the 1920s. Click on the image below for a listen to the presentation (20 minutes).
