HOUSTON – The Children’s Museum Houston has unveiled a brand-new art exhibit which celebrates people, places and defining moments in African American history, just in time for Juneteenth.

“Everyday People:  The Art of James E. Ransome” is a collection of more than 50 vivid oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings produced by Coretta Scott King and NAACP Image award-winning children’s book illustrator, James E. Ransome.

The focus of the exhibit is on a variety of people:  famous people, historical people, unfamiliar people, and everyday people.

But also conveys defining moments in history through the eyes of everyday people, like the Voting Rights Act, attending school following the Emancipation Proclamation and more.

It also captures precious moments in time of everyday people just living their lives!
