“Last Supper” by Cornell Barnes help!?
The “Last Supper” is Cornell Barnes’ “retelling” of the famous work by Da Vinci. In the print Jesus is seated at the table surrounded by major contributing figures in African-American history (instead of the disciples).
I recognize most of them–Mary McLeod Bethune, MLKing, Malcom X, Marcus Garvey, Elijah Muhammad, Frederick Douglas, and Harriet Tubman– but I am a little stumped as to who the remaining figures are. I’m fairly certain the man standing (in the red robe) to the far right is Paul Robeson but I have no clue who the others are (the man in white to the right of M L K, the 2 men to the right of and behind Frederick Douglas, and the two men seated at the far right of the scene). Also, who is the person just on the left side of Jesus whose back is turned to us?
Please no facetious replies. I see that this question has been asked before with only ridiculous responses.
Here is a link to the picture so you can see what painting I’m talking about:
