Conversations in Black Freedom Studies: The Struggle Against Racism and Repression | The New York Public Library

Conversations in Black Freedom Studies: The Struggle Against Racism and Repression | The New York Public Library: This month’s program marks 50 years since Stokely Carmichael galvanized the Black Power generation in June 1966; and it suggests the long road to the Black Power era with three presentations. First, Caleb Smith traces the contours of white domination back to perhaps the first African-American prison narrative from the 1800s in Jim Crow New York. Second, Aldon Morris traces the birth of modern sociology back to W.E.B. Du Bois and the Atlanta School. Third, Aram Goudsouzian traces the dawn of the Black Power era back to the 1966 Meredith March Against Fear. Presented by Schomburg Education.
