Mrs. Jean R. Wild

Dear Mrs. Wild: Your kind letter of February 3 was a real delight to read. I am compelled to write because of your generous spirit and kind wishes. You are indeed a most kind person to share your thoughts with me

I would love to have one of my exhibitions come to Vancover but I have no contacts there. One of the Black artist about whom I wrote in the "Two Centuries" exhibition resided in Vancouver near the end of his life. His name is Grafton Taylor Brown.

Charles White was included in another exhibition of historical significance I curated a few years ago called "Hidden Heritage: Afro-American Art, 1800-1950". He was such a fine human being. I am now working on assembling an exhibition of works by comtemporary Afro-American and Afro-Brazilian artists. My most recent article for the Monitor is on the work of Elizabeth Catlett. I hope you will read it also.

Sincerely,

David C. Driskell
