Doris Ligon is the founder of the African Art Museum of Maryland as the first Museum in the planned community of Columbia Maryland. It is one of only three museums of its kind in the USA devoted exclusively to the art of Africa.  Since its inception in 1980, AAMM has presented for viewing pleasure, in its location and at outreach events, astounding works of the highest quality including contemporary, intercontinentally known, stellar artists, held in the highest esteem.  Photos by Monica Farmer.
