Portraits for the Home Front: The Story of Elizabeth Black

Leaving a promising art career behind, Pittsburgh native Elizabeth Black volunteered with the American Red Cross during World War II. She sketched more than 1,000 portraits of soldiers, sailors and airmen in England, France, Luxembourg, Holland, Germany and Belgium. Seven decades later, her son John retraces his mother’s footsteps in her hometown to learn more about her talent, service and legacy.
