Born to a sharecropper and a former slave right here in Fayette County, Nellie went on to become one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. Her 'Playground' as well as her work on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, and Traveling Exhibition – featuring vibrant colors, dolls, and recycled treasures—remains a testament to the power of her imagination.

Joining us to unpack this legacy with journalist Leah Banks.
