    Ann Jimerson was interviewed as part of the NMAAHC Donor Oral History Collection. Ms. Jimerson donated shards of glass from the 16th St. Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Her family had kept them as a reminder of their commitment to Civil Rights.
    In this oral history interview Ann Jimerson recounts moving from the North to Birmingham, Alabama in the 1960s. She discusses her memories of what it was like to be a white child from up North in a liberal family, during the tumultuous years of the Civil Rights movement in Birmingham.

    Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt is an acclaimed artist with major commissions on view across the United States. He sees the arc segments in this hanging piece as a reference to the “swinging motion and wing-like forms” of the “band of angels,” made famous in the beloved Negro spiritual, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. According to the artist, the piece pays homage to Negro spirituals, and “their defining place in early colored religious, social and cultural self-consciousness.”
    Description
    Sculpture of welded bronze suspended from the ceiling of Heritage Hall in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. The sculpture is suspended from cables at four separate points, with swooping arc segments intended to evoke the swinging motion and wings of angels.

    Description
    Episode 220 of the Revision Path podcast. The episode begins with host Maurice Cherry advertising Facebook Design, just before the podcast’s soundtrack fades in. Cherry then mentions the episode’s sponsors: MailChimp, Hover and SiteGround. He also states that the “merch” store will be closing and there is a 15% sale on all merchandise.
    The interview segment begins with Cherry inviting his guest, Gail Anderson, to introduce herself. They then talk briefly about her role as a designer, an educator and a member of the Citizen’s Stamp Advisory Board. They also discuss purchasing custom postal stamps from the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), and their mutual desire to visit it. Cherry then tells of an encounter with Michelle Joan Wilkinson at the Black and Design Conference. Anderson responds by stating that some of her work is featured in the museum. Some of the topics they discuss include Anderson’s childhood; her experience as one of the only black students at the School of Visual Arts (SVA); her aspirations for the design community; ways to improve women participation in design; her five-year goals; as well as the relationship between math and design.
    At the end of the interview, Cherry asks Anderson where the audience can find her before thanking her for coming on the show. Shortly after, outro music fades in and Maurice Cherry thanks the audience, Gail Anderson and the sponsors. He also names a few members of the production team and implores the audience to leave reviews and become “patrons” of the show.
