Former Good Morning America anchor and actor, David Hartman will offer remarks at North Carolina Central University’s VIP Tribute to Ernie Barnes, Friday, October 30, 2009, at NCCU’s Art Museum. Part of NCCU's Centennial Homecoming, the Tribute will kick off an exhibition of Barnes’ work scheduled from October 30, 2009, to December 4, 2009.
Hartman, who lives in Durham, has long been a supporter and aficionado of artist and alum Ernie Barnes. Barnes died in April at the age of 70. The Durham native was an art student and a gifted athlete. His talent on the gridiron at North Carolina College (now NCCU) led him from the Washington Redskins to the NFL’s Baltimore Colts in 1960. Barnes also played with the New York Jets, San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos before devoting the rest of his career developing his talent as a painter.
