This special exhibition takes its title from a line in her recent poem, Emancipation Rhythms, and is composed of works revealing a significant presence of African ancestry and cultural memory embedded in the works of contemporary artists living and working in Washington. Artists include: Akili Ron Anderson, Osereime Aimua, Anne Bouie, Elizabeth Catlett, Sharon Farmer, Rik Freeman, Jacob Lawrence, Vaimoana Niumeitolu, Ellington Robinson, Cynthia Sands, and Wilmer Wilson IV.
