Heavenly Host Rendering, 1981: Black Nativity Caribbean

On pale yellow paper, three women in tropical island dress dance. One prances in the air while the others strike poses with their arms stretched wide. Together, they hold two banners. The top banner reads "BLACK NATIVITY CARIBBEAN," and the bottom banner reads "HEAVENLY HOST." At the bottom of the page is Myrna Colley-Lee's signature along with the year 1981.
