Loïs Mailou Jones, design professor

"Loïs Mailou Jones’s legacy is felt strongly at Howard, where she was a design professor for nearly half a century. Personally invited by James Vernon Herring, founder of the Howard University Art Department, Jones joined renowned art historian James Porter as a faculty member in 1930." —.https://nmwa.org/blog/lois-mailou-jones-howard-university/
