editI query the reason why the reference to Horace Kenton Wright is being considered for deletion. Mr. Wright made an invaluable contribution to Art in The Bahamas and is undeniably considered to be one of the forefathers of Art in The Bahamas.
He is given great recognition in the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas and is highly referenced in the Archives of The Bahamas. One example of his contribution to Bahamian Culture may be referenced here -> http://www.bahamas.gov.bs/BahamasWeb/VisitingTheBahamas.nsf/Subjects/Junkanoo+Leaders/
Percy Viola Francis VOLA: King Of Junkanoo
In the early 60’s a young man from Mason Addition just over the Hill in the East Street Area of Nassau, surfaced to the top of the Junkanoo Scene, designing to push the level of Junkanoo to new heights.
With a background in art, which began at an early age, his creative talents were developed at Art Classes in the St. Agnes school room under the tutorship of Mr. Don Russell. His talents were further developed at the Southern Junior and Senior Schools under the leadership of a renowned Bahamian Artist Mr. Horace Wright. These men have both now passed, but their knowledge of Art and its effectiveness is seen everytime the Saxons Superstars Junkanoo Group goes to Bay Street.
