James Porter (1905–1970) was the first scholar to identify the African influence on visual art in the Americas, and much of what is known about the cultural legacy that African-American artists inherited from their African forebears has come to us by way of his work. ███

There is no conclusive evidence for this. Porter's research on Duncanson and Johnston does establish clearly the range of the cultural territory inherited by later African-American artists by showing the connection of these two African-American artists to the Hudson River school. But that’s different from showing that the Hudson River school are iconographically linked to West African artisanship.
b
Some of the █████ ██ █████████ ███ ████████ ███ ███ ██ ███ █████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ███████
Unsupported. For all we know, Duncanson and Johnston only painted in the style of the Hudson River school.
c
Some of the ████ ██ █████████████ ████████ ████████ ████████████ ██ ████████████████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████████ ███ ██████████ ██████████
Unsupported. Which Euro-American painters display similarities to African-American crafts? We don’t know.
d
Some of the █████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ██████ ████ ████ ██ ████████████████ █████████
Supported. Duncanson and Johnston were both part of the Hudson River school. Porter identified them both as African-American. Hence some of the works of the Hudson River school were done by African-American painters.
e
Some of the █████ ██ █████████ ███ ████████ ████ ██████████ ██ ████ ███████ ██████████
Unsupported. The study of crafts occurred earlier in Porter's research.
