Event Description: “The Influence of Our Elders is the title and theme of the African American History exhibit at the Village of Friendship Heights Gallery in February.

Exhibiting are: Llewellyn Berry, Hank Douglas, Gloria Kirk, Hubert Jackson, Richard Fitzhugh, Kamala Subramanian, Magruder Murray, John Beckley, Dwight Tyler, Nanno Smith, Barbara Hardaway, Jim Cureton, Bruce Fagin, Gwendolyn Aqui-Brooks, Gail Hansberry, Wanda Aikens.
