African-American collection up for auction

This is a fascinating yet heartbreaking story. Due to filing bankruptcy, the collector of African-American artifacts will lose the entire collection at auction. He goes by the nickname 'Magnificent Montague' and says it has been hard to keep up with the collection because it's so massive. A museum of African-American history should bid on this collection so that visitors, schools, teachers, and parents can enjoy all the historical artifacts the collector has amassed. Check out the full story on CNN. It definitely needs to come out of the storage boxes for all to see. Magnificent indeed!

A wonderful donation by a Georgia couple of 100 pieces from their collection of African-American art to the Georgia Museum of Art. The couple has amassed a large collection and now visitors to the Museum can see them. The photo is art by a Georgia-born painter titled "Jazz Player I." It's Fabulous!
