George Black
Subject Of Show
Urban Arts of the Arts Council, Inc., will sponsor a
reception and exhibit honoring Mr. George Henry
Black, the artistic brickmaker who celebrated his
102nd birthday February 15, 1979. This reception and
exhibit will be held Sunday, March 11 at the Arts
Council Arena from 3:00 until 5:00 p.m.
The idea for this project originated with Mrs.
Dorothy Graham-Wheeler, Urban Arts Director,
whose life long friendship with the Black family led
her to share the need for community recognition of
Mr. Black.
On March 11 there will be a photographic exhibit by
Susan Mullally Weil which includes pictures taken
recently of Mr. Black, members of his family, and the
places associated with his childhood in Randolph
County in the nineteenth century.
Also on exhibit will be documents related to his life,
including the 1880 census listing “George H.” as a
member of the George Black and Ann Chavis Black
family at age one, and the list of slaves owned by Dr.
Thomas Black, which includes Mr. Black’s remarka
ble grandmother, Brena. Also available will be a
historical essay of Mr. Black written by Emily Herring
Wilson and published by Urban Arts, which tells both
the early history of Mr. Black’s family and recent
events, such as his trip in 1971 to South America.
