MiCo, as he is known, was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago. These poor neighborhoods provided the rich inspiration and back-drop in many of his pieces. He moreover draws inspiration from his Christian upbringing. His art often transfuses racial and religious symbolism with woebegone vernacular themes as a way of triumphal and giving narrative to the African American experience. This is given voice in the simple yet complex, and sometimes cartoon-like depictions in his drawings.   C. SHELBY ROOKS 12TH ANNUAL LECTURE (with the 13th President of CTS)  Thursday, October 11, 2018 – 5:15 pm Reception, 6:30 pm Lecture  |  Chicago Theological Seminary REV. DR. JACQUELINE J.

Shelby Rooks, the first African American to serve as president of a predominately white theological school. This year’s lecturer is Rev. Jaqueline J. Lewis, PhD, senior minister of Middle Collegiate Church in New York’s East Village. Middle Church is a dynamic 1000-member multiracial, multicultural, inclusive congregation in which everyone is welcome just as they are. Lewis is moreover the executive director of The Middle Project, an institute that prepares upstanding leaders for a increasingly just society.   PRESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION   Friday, October 12, 2018 – 3:00 pm  |  Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago REV.
