Join the exhibition co-curators, Mark Godfrey and Zoe Whitley for a lively lecture about the importance of African American artists, interpreting history now, and meeting one’s heroes. This is a timely opportunity to ask questions of your own and to see how American cultural identity was re-shaped at a time of social unrest and political struggle. Followed by audience Q&A and book signing.
