But where is the broad support for serious black artists?

As part of its African-American History Month celebrations in Washington DC, the National Gallery of Art invited the Ghanaian American concert pianist and professor of music William H. Chapman Nyaho to give a piano recital in the East Building Auditorium of the gallery on Wednesday February 16. Titled “Music of the Diaspora,” the 70-minute midday concert was attended by about a hundred. It was a joy both to hear and to see Chappie, as close friends call him, as well as other Ghanaians who had come to support him, including several childhood friends he has known since his days as a precocious young music student at Achimota School.
