Professor Dwight Smith (Art Professor at Fayetteville State University AND co-principal of Fayetteville’s Ellington-White Gallery, a black owned business on Gillespie Street in Fayetteville)
Melvin Lewis, Emergency Services Director at Fayetteville State University and avid African-American humanities advocate.
Melvin interviewed Professor Smith about the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Arts Council’s Black History Month Gallery art show. The takeaway from the interview was African-American art is like all art – depicting our struggle to meet our hopes and dreams!
