william edouard scott -- "a study for 'interruption'" [a mural at the 1940 american negro exposition in chicago] (ca. 1940)

"the major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions. the door that slams shut, the plan that got sidetracked, the marriage that failed. or that lovely poem that didn't get written because someone knocked on the door" ... martin luther king jr.

"as a result of the discrimination towards african americans at the 1933 century of progress exposition, james washington, a real estate developer, conceived of the american negro exposition. on july 4, 1940, president franklin delano roosevelt, from his hyde park home, pressed a button to turn on the lights, officially opening the american negro exposition. [...] artist william edouard scott created a series of 24 murals for the event, which took him three months to complete" ... wikipedia

"i ask you, america, is this not signing witness in your soul? who are you to deny me the right to cast my vote in the streets of america in the senate halls of america? who are you to deny the right to speak? i who am myself also america. i who cleared your forests and laid your thoroughfares. who are you to be presumptuous to tell me where to ride, and where to stand, and where to sit? who are you to lynch the flesh of your flesh? who are you to say who shall live and who shall die? who are you to tell me where to eat and where to sleep? who are you america but me' ... margaret walker

"there may be some difficulties, some interruptions, but as a nation and as a people, we are going to build a truly multiracial, democratic society that maybe can emerge as a model for the rest of the world" ... john lewis

"please ... do not pardon these interruptions" ... al janik

These traditions reflect the history and creative spirit of African American and other cultures of the African diaspora.
