#LetsTravelJuly Day 2: From Fats‘ review: “Clementine Hunter was a self-taught folk artist from Louisiana. She worked at the Melrose Plantation where she cooked and cleaned. She was the first African-American artist to have her own art exhibit in the #NewOrleans Museum of Art. Sadly, because of the color of her skin, Clementine was not allowed to view her own works when the museum was open to the public.” https://wp.me/pDlzr-dTM
