Earlier this year, local high schoolers submitted pieces highlighting famed activist and "one of the greats" of African-American theatre, Paul Robeson. The top student pieces were recently unveiled during a special ceremony on September 23. In addition to being recognized during the special reception, Lyrika Jenkins, the overall winner, will have her winning portrait become a permanent part of the Hattiloo Theatre’s art collection. It will be displayed along side works by acclaimed local artists in the theatre’s ArtsMemphis Corridor.
