GREG RIDLEY, CIVIL RIGHTS ERA
GREG RIDLEY, CIVIL RIGHTS ERA COPPER EAGLE PANELSGregory D. Ridley (American/Tennessee, 1925-2004) Federal Eagles, 1969, two repousse copper panels depicting near-mirror images based on the United States Eagle symbol. Ridley's interpretation of the federal seal, emphasized by the letters U.S. near its tail feathers, portrays the eagles with fierce, dragon-like heads and sharp talons crushing a pair of weeping heads. Both panels are signed lower right and dated 1969, suggesting this work was likely a reaction to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee and the ensuing civil unrest, as well as America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Both panels are mounted on a large, rectangular black painted wood frame. Each panel - 18" square. Frame overall - 29 3/4" H x 52" W. Biography: Greg Ridley was born in Smyrna, TN, and moved with his family to Nashville, TN in 1936. After his service in the US Navy during WWII, he earned a degree in art education from Tennessee State University and went on to become the first African American to receive a master's degree in fine arts from the University of Louisville. Ridley also attended Fisk University (where he later worked), where he studied under Aaron Douglas, the Harlem Renaissance painter and muralist, who remained a close friend and mentor until his death in 1979. Ridley taught at various Southern universities as well as the City University of New York. One of his last and best-known works was the creation of 80 copper panels for the Grand Reading Room of the Nashville, TN Public Library.
Condition:
Both overall good condition. Panel #1 - a 1 1/2" dent plus some smaller dents and scratches to upper area of one wing, a few other scattered minor small dents and scratches throughout. Panel #2 - a few minor scattered dents and scratches. The darker oxidation of the panels near the image appears to be as the artist intended. Frame exhibits some minor wear and small areas of loss to black paint at edges.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC
PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC CIVIL RIGHTS NOTEThis note showcases President John F. Kennedy writing the last names King, Abernathy, and Wilkins on his gold-embossed Aboard Air Force One stationery. JFK was obviously referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, who headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Roy Wilkins, president of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Exactly sixty years ago, during the summer of 1963, Kennedy became the first president since Abraham Lincoln to address the civil rights agenda nationwide. The riots in Birmingham with police dogs and fire hoses; George Wallace's face-down with Nicholas Katzenbach over two blacks wishing to enroll at the University of Alabama; the killing of four young black girls at a church bombing in Birmingham; the August 28th Freedom March at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and the eventual assassination of Kennedy himself dominated the 1963 news.
The late Evelyn Lincoln called it one of the most critical doodles ever sketched by John Fitzgerald Kennedy!
Provenance: comes from the John Burke Jovich collection. World-renowned US Presidential Historian.
JFK's personal secretary during his senatorial and White House years, Evelyn Lincoln, was a dear friend of mine. She frequently reminded Kennedy to pass on his doodles and notes, all unofficial documents, to his friend Congressman Mike Kirwan. Evelyn and her husband Abe (Harold) Lincoln, reviewed every one of JFK's doodles in my Kirwan collection during my visit at their Chevy Chase, MD home back in the early 1990s. She never questioned their authenticity, and her vivid memory of Kennedy scrawling some of the documents brought tears to her eyes. Evelyn was the expert at deciphering the late president's difficult to read handwriting
