Radio station KUAF featured a reflection on the life and work of Professor Emerita of Art Samella Lewis during its “Reflections in Black” segment. Lewis taught at Scripps for 15 years and was the College’s first tenured African American professor. Her artwork has headlined major exhibitions at the Museum of African American History in Detroit and the Stella Jones Gallery in New Orleans; she also founded the Museum of African American Art in Los Angeles County. The College’s Samella Lewis Collection of Contemporary Art was created in her honor in 2007.
