McDaniel offers a full portrait of Harleston's life and career, one that had an outsized impact on the American art world, and beyond.Amaki attended Georgia State University and majored in journalism and psychology.

Her work redefines the lives of past and present African American heroines and heroes and contrasts their depiction in the mainstream media  She has published a number of articles including “Art: The Paul Jones Collection in Art” and Everyday Life: The Paul Jones Collection, an exhibition catalog by the Marietta-Cobb Museum of Art, Marietta, Georgia in 1999.
