Jemisin vs Jemison
[edit]Evidence that Noah Jemisin = Noah Jemison includes a note on the Library of Congress Name Authority File: (Noah Jemison changed his surname in 1992 from Jemison to Jemisin after travelling in West Africa "because in Nigeria, the latter is a common name associated with the Yoruba people who are known historically for their artistic abilities"), and the book Made in the U S A: Modern/Contemporary Art in America (pg. 260): "After arriving in New York from the University of Iowa, Noah Jemisin (b. 1943; changed his name from Jemison after a trip to Africa in 1992) ...", and the African american Visual Artists Database ("Jemison, Noah (a.k.a. Noah Jemisin). (b. 1943; active New York, NY, 2013)") -Animalparty (talk) 21:16, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
