Local Washington State NAACP Leader Outed By Parents As White

[Nope]

I have always liked that painting but never thought to look into its history. It was painted by Ernie Barnes.

Barnes created the painting Sugar Shack in the early 1970s. It gained international exposure when it was used on the Good Times television series and on the 1976 Marvin Gaye album I Want You.

and another interesting fact

Also, please note that the version displayed on Marvin Gaye’s album cover, and the version of “Sugar Shack” being sold today is actually not the original version of the painting. This version of “Sugar Shack” was painted in 1976 specifically for Marvin Gaye’s album.  Ernie Barnes changed the painting by adding banners that promoted Marvin Gaye’s singles from the album.  On the original version of the painting, Barnes included his hometown Durham, North Carolina’s radio station WSRC on a banner.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the subject of the thread. Sorry for the derail.
