150-year-old image of dark-skinned Jesus finds home
A nearly 150-year-old stained-glass window depicts Christ speaking to a Samaritan woman, in the now-closed St. Mark's Episcopal in Warren, R.I. After the church closed, the new owners of the building wanted the window to be displayed where the public could enjoy it. (AP Photo/Mark Pratt, File)
Memphis Brooks Museum of Art was selected by Rhode Island leaders in the arts, historical preservation and Black history to receive the oldest known stained glass depicting Jesus as a person of color, also known as the “Black Gospel Window.”
