Decades before “representation” became a buzzword, Romare Bearden— artist, athlete, activist—waged a battle for visibility from Harlem to Negro League Baseball to the halls of the Met. ROMARE BEARDEN: A LIFE IN COLLAGE is the story of a Black man that painted a cultural rebellion that still inspires today.
