Episode Synopsis

Even in his early days making paintings, Joseph Pearson understood there was no place in and around Gulfport, Miss., for Black artists. "There were no artists that I knew in the neighborhood who were doing anything," Pearson recalled. "If there were, of course, they would have been white artists and we wouldn't have had contact because of segregation."
