Just as the civil rights protests were beginning to jolt America, self-taught African American artist, Clementine Hunter quietly painted a visual diary of plantation life in Melrose, Louisiana. In a community where history was an oral tradition, written documents were mostly of the white plantation owners. Clementine Hunter’s vast collection of painted memories shed new light on the untold stories of African American workers. With each creation, she revealed colorful tales of mid-century plantation life in the Cane River Country.
