In 1922, Aaron Douglas completed his bachelor of fine arts degree at the University of Nebraska and a year later took a job as an art teacher at Lincoln High School in Kansas City, Missouri. From 1923 to 1924, Douglas taught here in Kansas City, before leaving for New York, where he and artists like Langston Hughes collaborated to produce works of art to articulate the changes taking place within the psyche of black Americans in the post World War United States.
