This powerful painting, now in the collection of the National Afro-American Museum in Wilberforce, Ohio, has been featured in several books on African-American art and graces the cover of a textbook on civil rights history. The image is as relevant now as it was in the 1960s. It was inspired by the 1963 March of Washington, the pivotal event during which Martin Luther King submitted his famous “I have a Dream” speech.

Underscored by jazz music, we watch the artist paint and teach while listening to his thoughts on art, the civil rights movement and the role of Blacks in America. This energetic and insightful 15 minute film was originally filmed by one of Reggie’s students, Eugene Redden, and supported in part by a grant obtained from WMU.
