Freedom Riders, A Work in Progress is on exhibit at Chez Lola Restaurant, 387 Myrtle Avenue. The show will be up for the entire month of February in honor of Black History Month.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the remarkable Freedom Riders, activists that directly challenged segregation.

These works are part of a 60+ canvas show that will be exhibited in the downtown public library of Nashville, Tennessee in June 2011.

Schools interested in bringing student groups for discussion of the exhibit at Chez Lola Restaurant, please contact artist and restaurant owner, Charlotta Janssen at: charlottajanssen@gmail.com.
