Dr. Zach S. Henderson

 

You are probably familiar with this portrait of Dr. Henderson which hangs in the library foyer.

 

The oil painting, executed by veteran Savannah artist Christopher Murphy, was unveiled at a reception at the Rosenwald Library in April 1966.  

 

This was the first artwork ever purchased for the library through the Naomi Davis McElveen Art Fund, begun by librarian Hassie McElveen in honor of her mother, which has since brought the library a number of paintings and prints.
