Savannah African Art Museum connects with past, current traditions
Molly Hayden For Savannah Morning News Lisa Jackson is proud of her African-American roots. Growing up in New York, with a father who was from Georgia, she ate black-eyed peas, and watched her parents entertain with a Southern hospitality that always seemed familiar. Their family wouldn’t dare enter a neighbor’s house without a gift and even though the family didn’t have a lot, if any guests stepped foot through the door, they were offered a meal. “I didn’t know I wasn’t Southern,” said Jackson. “But, I wouldn’t understand the global reach of that until I was much older.”
