In 1970, Chandler wrote “A Proposal to Eradicate Institutional Racism at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,” a manifesto challenging the MFA (and, by inference, similar institutions) to represent Black artists in their collections and exhibitions, and to support Black self-determination in the arts by financially backing Black-centered arts institutions. The manifesto and subsequent exchange between Chandler and then MFA director Perry T. Rathbone is available online as part of “Black Power in Print.”
