This portrait honors Emma E. Booker, who taught generations and transformed Black education in Sarasota. Growing up, I recall a painting of Emma E. Booker, and I was always fascinated by it. Decades later, thanks to an organization called Newtown Alive, the only known photograph of Emma E. Booker resurfaced, and I was in awe. Emma E. Booker was a tall, dark skin woman. However, in the portrait I remember from High School, she's illustrated as a woman with lighter skin. I knew I had to come up with a better representation of her, because Black is beautiful.
