Summary:

Margaret Taylor-Burroughs said "The color of skin is a minor difference... that has been stretched out beyond its importance." Taylor-Burroughs spent her long life acting on that belief, bringing people together as an artist, educator and institution builder. In her paintings and woodcuts she depicted blacks, whites and mixed people doing everyday things together as equals-- a lovely human vision, radical at the time. She founded lasting organizations- community centers, African-American art museums. She was unstoppable. Writer Jasmine Swift tells the story of this woman who held to her powerful simple vision of human equality and created a better world in that image.
