- Description:
- View of sculpture by Alexander Calder, "Jeune fille et sa suite" or "Young lady and her entourage" in front of Michigan Bell Telephone Company in Detroit, Michigan. "Typical of Calder's witty manner, the young lady of the title is suggested perhaps by the tall, curvilinear shape at the center of the sculpture and her suite of attendants by the more geometrical forms to either side, the twenty-ton sculpture was fabricated in France, where Calder lived and worked most of his life and was assembled in Detroit, originally painted black at Calder's behest, Jeune Fille was repainted "Calder red" in 1985," from Art in Detroit Public Places by Dennis Alan Nawrocki and David Clements .

- Description:
- Portrait of singer, actor and political activist, Paul Robeson. "Paul Robeson was the epitome of the 20th-century Renaissance man, he was an exceptional athlete, actor, singer, cultural scholar, author, and political activist. His talents made him a revered man of his time, yet his radical political beliefs all but erased him from popular history ... born in 1898, Paul Robeson grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, his father had escaped slavery and become a Presbyterian minister, while his mother was from a distinguished Philadelphia family, at seventeen, he was given a scholarship to Rutgers University, where he received an unprecedented twelve major letters in four years and was his class valedictorian, after graduating he went on to Columbia University Law School, and, in the early 1920s, took a job with a New York law firm. Racial strife at the firm ended Robeson’s career as a lawyer early, but he was soon to find an appreciative home for his talents ... Robeson began to find work as an actor, in the mid-1920s he played the lead in Eugene O’Neill’s “All God’s Chillun Got Wings” (1924) and “The Emperor Jones” (1925), throughout the late 1920s and 1930s, he was a widely acclaimed actor and singer. With songs such as his trademark “Ol’ Man River,” he became one of the most popular concert singers of his time," from the PBS American Masters website.
