Join the English Department on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 4:15 p.m. in the Benes Rooms in Ham-Wil Campus Center for this year’s Carpenter Lecture.
This year our visiting lecturer is Wil Haygood, and he will be reading from his book “Colorization: One Hundred Years of Black Films in a White World.”
“Bestselling author, prize-winning journalist, acclaimed biographer, and cultural historian Wil Haygood tells the story of America through the lens of history, politics, sports, race and the lives of change-making African-Americans. Haygood’s book, Colorization: One Hundred Years of Black Films in a White World, gives an unprecedented history of Black cinema and a groundbreaking perspective on racism in modern America. Haygood uses the struggles and triumphs of the artists, and the films themselves, as a prism through which to explore Black culture and the civil rights movement.”
