Known for his meticulous research into the social history of African Americans, Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000) was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but he spent most of his childhood in Harlem. As a teenager he enrolled in the Harlem Art Workshop, where he met James Lesesne Wells, the director of the program, and Charles Alston, who nourished Lawrence's interest in art.

He joined the Artists Union and the Harlem Artists, associations that inspired his selection of the history and social composition of African Americans as the subject matter of his art.
