Emerson Terry is an accomplished illustrator who came up through the advertising ranks in the 1950s when there were very few African Americans in the field.

In ArtCenter's 90-year history there have only been approximately 300 Black alumni. Impact 90/300, a documentary by Elizabeth Gray Bayne, profiles 25 of them. This series revisits each interview from the film, originally created for ArtCenter DTLA's 90/300 Exhibition.

"I had the pleasure of interviewing Emerson Terry for ArtCenter’s short documentary Impact 90/300. When I was commissioned to create a documentary about ArtCenter’s Black alumni, I knew Mr Terry needed to be featured. It was an honor to record his story in his own words and highlight such a groundbreaking career. " - Elizabeth Gray Bayne
