Speaker: Dr. Juanita Cleaver Simmons
Topic: In Celebration of Black History Month -- “African Americans’ Gift to the World: Art as a Montage of Historical Preservation and Protest”
We must rely on the arts to help preserve the truthful struggles and accomplishments of a people. All youth benefit from stories of hope, strength, and success that unify the family of humankind. This presentation is a virtual exhibit and informal discussion of music, dance, visual arts and other systems of expression that help to preserve Black culture in America. Some secret coding systems (quilting, hair braiding, spirituals, etc.) are viewed, listened to, and openly discussed in a participatory manner. Lots of fun and entertaining messages to share with youth and each other.
