    Bill Traylor's Amazing Artwork on Display
    Tremendous. The amount of artwork shown is mind blowing and will leaving you speechless and an awe of one of the greatest self taught artists ever. The amazing life of Bill Traylor told with amazing detail and in parallel to life in the South during slavery and the struggles that followed after emancipation. A must watch.
