Family Collection of Dr. William Lloyd Tevis Miller and Eva Hamlin Miller

Eva Katherine Hamlin Miller (1911-1991) was an artist from Greensboro, North Carolina. She grew up in New York City and studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York; Columbia University, the Graduate School of Fine Art in Florence and the University of Ibadan in Nigeria before moving to North Carolina. She became an art instructor at Bennett College in 1937, and went on to have a long career as an educator in many universities and colleges, as well as the Greensboro city schools. Along with former student and Greensboro Congresswoman, Alma Adams, Miller helped cofound the African American Atelier in 1990. She served as its curator until her death in 1991. The collection includes documentation of Miller's life, material about family members--including her husband Dr. William Lloyd Tevis Miller and her children Lloyd Tevis Miller and Tyron Miller--as well as a collection of obituaries of noteworthy African American residents of Greensboro.
