June 25 – Guest Lecture “Periodicals as Foundations of Black American Culture” 🗓

Since they first appeared in the early nineteenth century, periodicals published by and for Black Americans have been essential building blocks of Black American culture. They played unique and powerful roles as community forums, political pedestals, artistic and intellectual cultivators, and tools for both the celebration and advancement of Black American life. This lecture dives into the archives for a discussion of the profound affects that these media had—and continue to have—on Black American culture.
