It was a community center, an artists’ circle, a forum for amazing conversations and intellectual discussions, a meeting ground, a vibrant place that had a lot of owners.
I saw it as a center of life not just in Harlem, but also of New York, and, in some ways, the center of a much larger black world and art world.During her time as the museum's director, they collaborated with artists such as Elizabeth Catlett, Miles Davis, Maren Hassinger, Luis Jiménez, Glenn Ligon, James Luna, Andres Serrano, James VanDerZee, and David Wojnarowicz.
Her role included fundraising, external partnerships, expanding the museum's collections, and developing exhibitions and programming.
