In 2014 the world lost two great female artists, Maya Angelou and Ruby Dee.  Not only were they artists but also political and social activists.  This exhibition, curated by Gladys Grauer, coincides with the Women in Media Film Festival and features New Jersey artists Yvette Lucas, Rosalind Nzinga Nichol, Sarah Petruziello, and Nette Forne Thomas.

“You may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.”
