After his passing in 1979, Charles White’s reputation as an artist continued to increase, garnering more and more adulation. To this end, in the years following his death, a number of commemorative exhibition took place. These included Charles White: Celebration, which took place at Pasadena City College Art Gallery [1570 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, California 91106]. The exhibition took place January 11 thru January 30, 1982.

This was a multi-sided folded brochure which contained a two-page transcribed Q and A though somewhat curiously, the questioner's identity is not revealed. The brochure contains two uncredited portraits of White. One was a then-recent portrait of White,The other was a photograph of White working on Mary McLeod Bethune, his celebrated mural for Los Angeles Public Library, Exposition Park, executed just a year or two before he died. 

Elsewhere in the brochure, there appears a short biographical outline, which introduces White as "a black prolific creator of drawings, murals and portfolios" going on to report that he "had over the years, more than 50 one-man exhibits of his works which are now found in 49 museums in the U.S., Mexico and Europe as well as in many private collections." Importantly, this biographical sketch states that White was :"Heavily influenced by the Mexican social muralists David A. Siqueriros, Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco."
