An exhibition on Bermuda's Black Artistic Legacy made up for the fact that the Historical Museum tracing the slavery and emancipation in Bermuda's history was closed yesterday! This year sees Bermuda and her people celebrating the 400th anniversary of occupation but the Black Artistic Legacy did not start until the 1930s because for centuries Bermudians were too busy surviving to pursue artistic expression for its own sake. Charles Lloyd Tucker is widely recognised as Bermuda's first black trained artist, who has international acclaim for his work.
