The descendants of David Drake, known as Dave the Potter, have traced their lineage back to the once-enslaved potter and launched an effort to reclaim his work. They say the effort has not only reconnected them with their family's legacy, but also raised broader questions about art ownership and restitution. @GeoffRBennett spoke recently with Pauline Baker and her son, Yaba Baker. The conversation is part of our arts and culture series, Canvas.
