Especially the ARTSTOR collection: Image of the Black in Western Art (IBWA)
"This statement is provided by the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research, Harvard University: Our policy at the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research is never to hide or excise the facts of history, ugly and brutal as those facts may be. Only by the frank recognition of the errors of the past can we fully assess the pernicious role played by racism in a social and moral context. The Image of the Black in Western Art archive provides a unique opportunity to assess the potency of negative racial views through their visual dissemination."
