W e received responses to O mo Misha’s cover story about John Sims, a Detroit artist and activist w ho died last month.
What a beautiful in-depth powerful article about John... it’s a loving memorial to his career and life. — Danny Simmons, Facebook
I love that Irwin House understands the importance of protecting the legacy of this very brilliant and courageous artist. He worked hard not only for his own people but because he thought this country could be a better place if it confronted its racist history. John was very much like the author James Baldwin. He looked White America straight in the eye with steadfast artistic eloquence and demanded they recognize their monumental inhumanity. His art was powerful! Hopefully his voice will not be silenced by White gatekeepers and entombed in the bowels of a White Southern Museum. — Gale Fulton R oss Facebook
...TearsOfJoy! #ThankYou Omo Misha for honoring his life and celebrating his legacy-the Memorial last weekend @ IrwinHouseGallery.org was so special. Special thanks also for making sure his hometown experienced his artist genius while he was present on earth... K athleen Colin, Facebook
