Roma by Miller Horns

Miller Horns, friend and artist, died yesterday at Summa/Akron City Hospital.

“. . . But someday somebody’ll
Stand up and talk about me,
And write about me–
Black and beautiful–
And sing about me,
And put on plays about me!

This 2009 photo is from Miller’s exhibit in the BOX gallery; a few weeks later he won the Akron Area Arts Alliance Arts Alive! award for visual arts.

Miller’s public artwork depicting the Matthews Hotel, constructed last year, was to be a monument to George Mathews [sic], but will forever be a reminder of someone I was fortunate to know. Rest in peace, Miller.
