PITTSBURG, Kan. An exhibit opening Monday in the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts helps tell the story of pioneering Black musician, conductor, actress, and author Eva Jessye, who spent time at Pittsburg State University as an artist in residence and whose personal collection of documents is archived there.

The exhibit includes photographs taken from PSU Special Collections, as well as three works of art that capture her likeness. An accompanying brochure, designed by graphic design major Katelyn Phelps, is available to visitors. ....
