Born and raised in Birmingham, Willie Williams Jr. represents the resilience Black art and Black people have endured in the South. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the art world, for the most part, black artists have been the most underrepresented,\u201d Williams said. \u201cBut also when it comes to ownership, not just of art collections, but of art spaces, that\u2019s been a rarity, given our history in the art world in general.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
