C.C. Henderson Portrait Unveiled

May 31, 2013

Portrait artist, painter, and muralist, Ras `Ammar Nsoroma stands in front of his newly completed “bas-relief” portrait of C. C. Henderson, the former president and chief executive of the Milwaukee Health Services. Inc, who passed away in 2010. It was unveiled in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new addition to MLK’s Heritage Health Center on Saturday, May 25, 2013. This fitting image of Henderson by one of Milwaukee’s premier muralist honors Henderson as a behind the scenes “mover and shaker” and a dedicated administrator. His widow, Berlean Henderson said, “The portrait perfectly captures the spirit of empowerment that C. C. wanted for the community. Along with establishing solid financial footing for the clinics, he established a sound proactive health care system to assist the community with the kind of medical care and education needed to prevent and treat illness. Religion was a major part of his life. Guided by the bible verse, ‘I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me,’ Ammar’s mural captures that strength.”   (Photo by Pat Robinson)
