A trailblazer in her own right, Lois Mailou Jones was not your typical woman, especially for her era. She was a trendsetter and a renowned artist whose work has stood the test of time. However, what has gone unrecognized is her extraordinary work as an educator and a catalyst for change. Historical archives, museums and institutional records remind us of her dedication to the education profession for over 50 years and her level of commitment to impact not only the world of art but the lives of students.
