Title A name given to the resource Jazz Stories: Mama Can Sing, Papa Can Blow #2: Come On and Dance with Me Description An account of the resource Faith Ringgold’s Jazz Stories quilt series spotlights women musicians and in Come On and Dance with Me, the high-spirited singer embodies the lyrics with passion and joy. Across her imagery Ringgold centers the importance of African diasporic creativity to both historic and contemporary society, pushing back on limiting narratives that claim these cultures are marginal. Her rebellion extends to engagements with quilts and textiles – materials that are still often overlooked within modernist histories. Originating as a way to bypass censorship, Ringgold’s quilts utilize a domestic, disarming medium to carry nuanced messages and stories that range from deeply interpersonal to cultural and political. Through these masterful artworks, Ringgold adds immeasurably to both the African-American tradition of pictorial story quilts and the canon of modernist and contemporary art. Lyrics for all of Ringgold’s jazz series can be found in the Faith Ringgold Study Room.

Title A name given to the resource Angels Whispering In the Night Description An account of the resource This lithograph, printed in collaboration between Ringgold and her longtime artist assistant Grace Matthews, relies on the legend of African people escaping enslavement by flying over the Atlantic Ocean --a persistent example of folklore passed down through generations since the transatlantic slave trade. The motif of flying people appears across all media in Ringgold’s expansive body of art and writing. Through the traditional tales of the power of flight, she imagines a new form of mobility and freedom for peoples of the African diaspora in the present. Whimsical angels in human and animal form joyously soar through the starry sky, free of their earthly burdens. Ringgold’s work commonly incorporates both image and text to illustrate a narrative. Poetic lines, “Angels whispering in the night/ Everything gone be alright,” underscore the work’s optimistic message about Black liberation.
