Author of We Are The Ship to appear at Negro Leagues Museum

December 26, 2007

In response to a recent entry on artist Kadir Nelson’s We Are the Ship, Bob Kendrick of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, wanted readers of the Bookshelf to know that the museum will display a number of the original paintings used to illustrate the book in an exhibit beginning January 26, 2008.

“The NLBM already has several of Kadir’s works in its collection that were donated by San Diego Padres owner John Moores. Kadir was the museum’s featured artist in a groundbreaking national traveling exhibition developed by the NLBM called ‘Shades of Greatness.’ So we most definitely look forward to showing off his latest masterpieces,” Kendrick wrote in an e-mail.”The young man is an amazing talent.”

The artist/author will be on hand for the opening of the exhibition — which runs through April 13, 2008 — and will participate in book signings and other programs being developed by the NLBM.
