In 1975, Jacob Lawrence and twelve other artists were asked to respond to the question, "What does independence mean to me?" The prints made by the artists comprise the Kent Bicentennial Portfolio: Spirit of Independence, commissioned in honor of the American Bicentennial.
Jacob Lawrence's parents migrated from the south to New York City, so the theme of migration was one that had great meaning to his personal history. He said, "During the post World War I period millions of black people left southern communities in the United States and migrated to northern cities. This migration reached its peak during the 1920's. Among the many advantages the migrants found in the north was the freedom to vote. In my print, migrants are represented expressing that freedom."

Gallery label text 2013:
Elizabeth Catlett honors the rural working poor in this commanding image of a strong, dignified African American woman fieldworker who, though worn from her labors, maintains her internal fortitude.
Catlett devoted her career as a sculptor and printmaker to addressing issues of social justice, especially the struggles of African American women. “I make work for my people,” Catlett has said, “not for an elite, and I’ve paid a price for my commitment.”
Based on her own experiences, Catlett pursued subjects that were personally significant, such as her grandmother’s stories of slavery and her own experience of being denied admission to the Carnegie Institute of Technology solely on the basis of race.

Though largely known for her portraiture, Artis Lane also explores themes of social justice and metaphysics in her art. Here, a figure struggles against vestiges of the materials used to cast bronze sculpture. This symbolic emergence from the burden of material life to a higher spiritual awareness speaks to the artist’s concerns with the history of slavery in America.
In 2009, Artis Lane’s bust of abolitionist Sojourner Truth was installed in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Michelle Obama, who presided over the unveiling, said, "I hope that Sojourner Truth would be proud to see me, a descendant of slaves, serving as the First Lady of the United States of America."

Blackwell’s memories of growing up on a pig farm in South Carolina are the inspiration for his Hog Series. He states, “I have tried to portray hogs with dignity and respect, while at the same time revealing and sharing some of my past personal experiences.”
Blackwell was influenced by the works of the Spanish master Diego Velazquez and explains that “the essence of the Hog Series can be related to the way he depicted jesters and dwarfs of King Philip IV’s court as equals to their master.”
This is one of eight lithographs by pre-eminent African American artists included in the Resounding Heart Portfolio “to document the historical and evolutionary journey of the Black experience.”

Colescott uses satire and wit to deal with issues that concern him in our multicultural society. He explains that his works on paper “are often the sandbox for ideas that are off the track and something that I may do in paintings.” Here, the artist pokes fun at the cultural stereotype that African Americans are good dancers.
In 1997, at the age of seventy-one, Colescott became the first African-American artist to represent the U.S. at the Venice Biennale, the oldest and most renowned contemporary art festival in the world.
This is one of eight lithographs by pre-eminent African American artists included in the Resounding Heart Portfolio “to document the historical and evolutionary journey of the Black experience.”

The portfolio is a presentation of lithographs “to document the historical and evolutionary journey of the Black experience,” in the words of the publisher. For the artist Lionel Lofton, whose subjects often include images of family and children, the concepts of inner strength and spirituality are central to his work. In this print, the figures’ solidity and unity express Lofton’s personal convictions.
"Heart to Heart" is one of eight lithographs by pre-eminent African American artists included in the Resounding Heart Portfolio, published by Hand Graphics Studio.

Renée Stout’s art incorporates mystical beings and experiences, like the African trickster deity represented here by the mound of dirt under the cross. For Stout, the cross or crossroads is the juncture of earth and spirit worlds, a place to seek aid from her ancestors in her life choices.
She describes 1930s Delta blues singer Robert Johnson as her kindred spirit. He attributed his musical genius to a legendary pact with the devil at a crossroads. Stout states, “Johnson was driven to sing just as I am compelled to make art.”
This is one of eight lithographs by pre-eminent African American artists included in the Resounding Heart Portfolio “to document the historical and evolutionary journey of the Black experience.”

Born in New Orleans, John T. Scott said that his art training began at home, where he learned embroidery from his mother. He drew upon the city’s rich African-Caribbean culture and musical heritage in creating his abstract sculptures and prints, stating that, “New Orleans is the only city that I’ve been in that if you listen the sidewalks will speak to you.”
Scott’s Window Moth is one of eight lithographs by pre-eminent African American artists included in the Resounding Heart Portfolio, published by Hand Graphics Studio, a press founded by Ron Adams in Santa Fe.
