The Bottom To The Top: The Story Of Ernie Barne (WUNC)

'He was raised in “the bottoms” section of Durham, but Ernie Barnes would leave the Triangle to become one of the most recognizable black artists of the time. Anyone who has ever seen the opening credits of the sitcom “Good Times,” has seen the art of Ernie Barnes. The North Carolina Museum of History will showcase unpublished Ernie Barnes paintings and artifacts from his life in the exhibit “The North Carolina Roots of Artist Ernie Barnes” which will run June 29 through March 3 in Raleigh.' -- WUNC -- The State of Things
