In an episode from our How to See series, we visit #JackWhitten’s New York studio—a former firehouse turned acrylic paint lab—preserved much as he left it before his death in 2018. His daughter and wife explain how the historical images and objects he collected offer a window into his mind and reflect his upbringing in the segregated South during the Civil Rights era.
