Spelman College was founded in 1881 in Atlanta and is still open to this day. It is the oldest private, historically black (HBCU), liberal arts college for women.

Hardcover. Hardcover. Brown cloth boards. 216 pgs w/ bw & color illustrations. pictorial dustjacket w/ multi-color printing. "At Spelman College in the mid-1930s Hale Woodruff and Nancy Elizabeth Prophet established a premiere institution for art instruction for African Americans in the Southeast. While Woodruff is widely recognized for originating the Atlanta University Annual Exhibition of Painting, Sculpture and Prints by Negro Artists, his own artistic accomplishments have not been adequately examined. Although Prophet created an impressive body of work (most of which is currently lost or destroyed) and was regarded as one of the most talented American sculptors by American and European critics alike in the late 1920s and 1930s, her work has never before been the subject of an exhibition outside of her home state of Rhode Island."
