American Art Reflects Our Collective History Together

We were lucky enough to photograph Emmy-, Academy Award-, Grammy-, and Tony-winner Viola Davis as she spoke at the Ellucian conference in Downtown Denver last year. If her awards weren’t impressive enough—she’s one of the very few winners of all those four prestigious awards—then her contribution to art and our country should be. Raised on the East Coast in poverty, Davis was an accomplished stage actor before she ever saw a camera. She’s won awards for her acting and singing, but also her philanthropic efforts for education, hunger, and health care. She’s portrayed Americans in the grip of poverty and oppression, but she’s produced films to highlight injustice and some of the best among us.

Her stories and outreach have taught us more about America’s experience to shape how we see future generations. Without her stories and storytelling, we wouldn’t have a richer history from which to shape how we view our world and tell its beautiful story. To her and all of Black History Month, cheers.
