Like many other artworks at the time, the painting was commissioned and financed under the New Deal.

He was born and lived in New York City, NY.
" Richardson and fellow artist Malvin Gray Johnson planned to say more about the history and promise of black people in their mural series Negro Achievement, slated to be installed in the New York Public Library ’s 135th Street Branch, but neither young man lived long enough to complete the project."
" After Johnson's sudden illness and death in November 1934, Richardson continued to work on their mural project.
But within a year he too was dead; ill with fever and heart- broken over the death of Johnson, who had been his lover, Richardson leapt from his fourth- floor apartment window and died of his injuries in December 1935."
