Stories in Stained Glass

The Art of Samuel A. Hodge.

Long Term Exhibition

Musicians, dancers, freedom advocates: for stained glass artist Samuel A. Hodge, these figures are beacons of hope and transformation in African-American history and culture.

Stories in Stained Glass

Some interpret the world as they see it through music. Others do so through movement, articulating emotions and ideas through dance. Others champion dignity and freedom through their physical presence, and through their voices, speaking truth to power fearlessly, selflessly.

Stained glass master Samuel A. Hodge celebrates the movers and shakers of African-American history and culture through this extraordinary, vivid stained glass installation, which features musicians, dancers, and freedom advocates. This luminescent exhibition honors their collective efforts to raise the spirits and voices of African Americans.
