Edward “Nardie” White devoted his life to leading the African-American drum corps he co-founded with his wife, Zambia Nkrumah in Louisville, Kentucky three decades ago. Together they inspired youth from their West Louisville neighborhood to thrive by connecting them with the art and cultural traditions of their African ancestors. After leaving this legacy to his successor, Mr. White decided to pursue his lifelong passion for photography.
Mr. White’s first public photography exhibition, Edward “Ed” White - The Historian took place at the Kentucky College of Art + Design. He currently is a part of Through Their Eyes: Future, Present, Past: An LVA Exhibit for Louisville’s Metro Hall October 8 – November 23, 2021
