- Lithograph by Wadsworth Jarrell.
The youngest of six children, Jarrell was born in Albany, Georgia. After serving in the Korean War, he enrolled in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In the 1960s he became active in the civil rights movement and the struggles for black equality. This involvement greatly influenced the subjects and methods of his art-making. Jarrell helped create Chicago's Wall of Respect mural, and later became a member of the artist collective known as AfriCOBRA (African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists). An assistant professor at the University of Georgia, he retired from teaching in 1988.
