Margaret T. Burroughs

Margaret T. Burroughs is known for her roles as an educator, artist, museum founder and director (the DuSable Museum of African American History), writer, political activist, and role model for African Americans and women of all colors. She is also one of the founders of the South Side Community Art Center, the first such venue for African American artists in the country. She is an avid storyteller and she incorporates this talent into her portrayals. Most of her work deals with social commentary, oppression, and race related themes. Her energy is best felt in the vitality of her many prints, including, lithographs, woodcuts and linocuts. (St. James Guide to Black Artists, 1997)
