The Progressive remembered Samella Lewis, professor emerita of art history, in advance of what would have been her 100th birthday on February 27, 2023. Lewis passed away in May 2022 at the age of 99. “Lewis’s teachings, writings, curatorial efforts, film productions, political activism, and other activities reflected her tireless commitment to Black artists,” the Progressive notes. “. . . [Her] personal artwork also reflected the social vision of her teaching, scholarship, and institution building.”
