About Ruth Inge Hardison
- Ruth Inge Hardison (February 3, 1914 – March 23, 2016) was an African American sculptor, artist, and photographer, known particularly for her 1960s busts (or sculpted portraits) entitled "Negro Giants in History".
- Her 1983 collection called "Our Folks", which features sculpted portraits of everyday people, is also of note.
- Hardison's artistic productions largely surround historical black portraiture, and she is especially interested in creatively representing the unspoken voices of the African American past.
- She was the only female in the Black Academy of Arts and Letters (BAAL), a group that encourages awareness of Black artistic accomplishments, when this organization was founded in 1969.
