Africana Studies: It’s Only Hidden if you Don’t Look: Race, Ghosts, and the Archive—Public Lecture with B. Brian Foster (5x10)

Drawing from his new book, Ghosts of Segregation: American Racism, Hidden in Plain Sight, B. Brian Foster tells a collection of stories that together show the importance of seeing the environment-the buildings we enter, the roads we travel, the things we are surrounded by-as part of the nation's collective biography. From this perspective, Foster talks about his larger research and storytelling agenda—documenting and interpreting the culture, folklore, and placemaking practices of Black communities in the rural U.S. South. The lecture is located on the first floor of the Business Innovation Building. The lecture is accessible by stairs and by a walk-up ramp. Parking is available at the Zoellner parking garage.
*This is a 5x10 event.
