Bessemer native Paul R. Jones, who built one of the largest collection of 20th century African-American art, has died in Atlanta.
He was 81.
Jones began collecting art in the 1960s and was soon drawn to African-American art after noticing it was underrepresented in public galleries.
Besides being an art collector, Jones was also a civil rights activist.
