In celebration of Black Is Beautiful: The Photography of Kwame Brathwaite, the CMA welcomes Dr. Todd Shaw for a virtual lecture. As an associate professor of political science and associate director of African American studies at the University of South Carolina, Shaw researches and teaches broadly in the areas of African American politics, urban politics, and public policy as well as citizen activism and social movements. Shaw discusses contemporary Black activism and the legacy of the Black Power movement while drawing connections to the work of Kwame Brathwaite and pieces in the CMA collection. Live Q&A to follow.
