In 1985, Morrison curated "Art in Washington and Its African American Presence: 1940-1970", an exhibition of more than 60 artists and more than 50 works of African art at Washington Project for the Arts Gallery, in Washington, DC. The 60+ artists were American, African, Caribbean, European and others of mixed heritage. He borrowed their art from Howard University, the Barnett Aden Collection, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Phillips Collection and private collectors. The 50+ African works were classical pieces he borrowed from the Smithsonian Institution.
