Author Talk | The Path to Freedom: Black Families in New Jersey

Friday, February 2 at 12:00 PM (Virtual)

The struggle for black freedom in the twentieth century took many forms, particularly within local communities and greater political landscape. Black people and families had to coalesce around the principles of strength, determination, and faith as they struggled to obtain equality in a resistive and prejudicial America. In honor of Black History Month, please join us as Dr. Walter Greason discusses the success and sacrifices of 3 black families in New Jersey that were emblematic of the greater black community throughout the twentieth century.

Dr. Walter Greason, Ph.D., DeWitt Wallace Professor in the Department of History at Macalester College is the preeminent historian of Afrofuturism, the Black Speculative Arts, and digital economies in the world today.
