Artist and art historian Samella Lewis, née Sanders, is renowned for her contributions to African American art and art history. In 1951, Lewis became the first African American woman to receive a doctorate in fine arts and history. From 1969 to 1984, she was a professor of art history at Scripps College in Claremont, California, becoming the college's first tenured African American professor. She helped found the Museum of African American Art in Los Angeles in 1976, and established the influential journal International Review of African-American Art.
