    And a detail of just my grandmother, with all the other guests removed, appears in the painting “Will You Forget Me.” (The painting preceded the print, though they were made in the same year.)

    Emma falls through the air, holding above her head an image of her mother sitting on the porch steps alone. Emma’s dress is made of printed African fabric, and the painting is bordered in kente cloth.

    This photo is used in Emma’s 1991 print “Camille: Remember Me”:

    An image of artist Camille Billops falls through the air, along with the photo of my grandmother's party, and an image of Emma holding her hands in the air and wearing a T-shirt that says “ARTIST” across the chest.

    (I just realized the key is a mirror image of the photo. So they’re actually numbered *clockwise* if you’re looking at the photo, but *counterclockwise* on the key itself.)

    And, finally, here are two posed portraits from a set that are all signed “Axel 54.” She was seventeen and must have been at Antioch College since the previous fall.

    Emma leaning her elbow on a surface that also holds a vase with a big branchy thing sticking out of it.

    I think the photo with the glasses is ADORABLE. As an adult, Mom had a tendency to take her glasses off when photos were being taken. And occasionally, being the smartass she raised me to be, I’d ask her, “What makes you think you look better with your glasses *off*?”

    Emma around 1950/51 and 1952. There are a couple of party photos from 1950/51 in which she’s one of the only girls wearing glasses, and then the glasses disappear again. She wore hard contact lenses for decades, so maybe that started in between these two (school?) portraits.

    But I digress. Here are Emma and Larry probably about five years after the toddler party, and considerably more casual. Larry does *not* look happy to be shorter than his baby sister. Mom’s height advantage did not last, though.

    Emma, probably 8 or 9, sits in an armchair, grinning. She wears a white ruffled blouse and plaid skirt—possibly school clothes. Larry stands next to her—wearing corduroys?—leaning his elbow on a shelf.
    Same photo shoot, but now both Larry and Emma stand at attention in front of the chair. Emma is about an inch taller than her brother.

    Not one of the non-India names on that list is repeated. I suppose it’s *possible* that my grandmother preferred Indias over girls with any other name (I mean, who can blame her), and that this is actually all the black Indias in Atlanta at the time…

    Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard me recite, “I’m named after my grandmother. We have a photo of her at a tea party, and there are 12 girls in the picture, and it’s labeled on the back, and three of those 12 were named India. So it was the ‘Jennifer’ of the nineteen-oughts.”

    Another photo key drawn by Mom: the girls are outlined and numbered counterclockwise from my grandmother, and the list reads: 1. India - 16 years old. 2. India Nash. 3. Johnnie Davis (Carey). 4. Cecelia McCoy. 5. Irene Dobbs. 6. Mildred Wimberly. 7. Josephine Post. 8. Lucille Harper. 9. India Ruth King. 10. Ruth Wheeler. 11. Ruby Meade.

    Another example of Premium-Grade Emma Amos Photo Labeling is this one, which I describe to people whenever they ask about my name. That's my Grandma India, seated front and center:

    A dozen young women in tea dresses, posed on the steps of a house’s front porch. My grandmother sits in the middle of the front row.

    At some point Mom labeled that photo “Summer 1940” and drew a key with the names of the kids she still recognized. This was a very, very Mom thing to do.

    Rough outlines of the figures in the photo, labeled from left to right as follows: blank, Maxine Bradley, Oscar Hall Jr., blank, blank, Alicia Alexander, Jean Blackshear, Barbara(?) Fisher, Claire, T.M. Alexander, Larry Amos, Blackshear, Emma Amos. Next to this are written “Summer 1940” and “Key.”

    MORE PHOTOS. So many more. Will you look. At these. Elegant. Children. 
 Emma’s the one farthest to the right. Her brother, Larry, two years older, stands third from the right, in the dark jacket—being a *handful*, it looks like. Larry went on to become a lawyer.

    Thirteen small children, mostly girls in floor-length dresses, posing in front of the fireplace in a well-appointed parlor. Some of the girls have flowers in their hair.

    We didn’t contact the publisher to get it corrected, though, because what’s one dumb book? And then…the Web happened, and the error got digitized and propagated everywhere. When *actually* being coy about her age, Mom went with “28 if it’s an even year, 29 if it’s an odd one.”

    When Mom and I were preparing her tenure packets in 1991, we found some Who’s Who–type reference tome that had the wrong year, and she exasperatedly said something to the effect of, “If I wanted to lie about my age, I’d make myself younger by more than one damn year.”

    This——reminds me: A lot of places list Emma’s birth year as 1938, although it was 1937. I’ve desultorily tried to get some websites to correct this, but I didn’t fix it on Wikipedia until the obits came out, because I didn’t want to die in a citation war.

    "Don't admit to being over 28 until you are over 58. It's handy to be either young and hot, or a doyenne...In the middle, it's finding time and space, jobs, kids, lovers, husbands and hard slogging, no glamour, no news."--Emma Amos, from @/abbeabeille's instagram

    The Mattatuck Museum remembers Emma Amos, a figurative painter whose work addressed racism. She died this week due to complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. Image: Emma Amos (1938-2020), "Slow Time", 1983, 2019.25.1
