There he came to the attention of James Porter, a professor and artist widely regarded as the nation’s first African American art historian. Porter encouraged him to pursue art history to further tell the story of Black artists. Porter himself had already published “Modern Negro Art,” the first true survey of Black art. But the influential artist and fellow Howard professor, Lois Mailou Jones, saw in Driskell an artist, one who could be successful despite segregation.
