Who was Alma Woodsey Thomas?

Alma was a Black painter who only started painting seriously after she retired from teaching at the age of 68. Alma's paintings typically featured bright, vivid colors arranged in a mosaic style. In 1972, when Alma was 81 years old (!), she became the first Black woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
