Inspired by Hale Woodruff
Hale Aspacio
Woodruff (August 26, 1900
- September 6, 1980) was an African-American artist known for his murals,
paintings, and prints. The three-panel Amistad
Mutiny murals (1938), one of the works he’s known for, can be found at Talladega
College in Talladega County, Alabama. The murals are entitled: The Revolt,
The Court Scene, and Back to Africa, portraying events related to
the slave revolt on the Amistad. Located in Savery Library, they depict
events on the ship, the U.S. Supreme Court trial, and the Mende people's return
to Africa.
