Ayida S. Mthembu, Melissa Thompson
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: None
In 1903, Dr. W.E.B. DuBois wrote the following words in the Souls Of Black Folk: "The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colorline." Over a four day period, this class will use a multimedia and highly interactive approach to explore the over 100 year history of how the film and television industries have treated not only issues of race and culture, but also issues of gender, class, and sexuality. Come join us for a fun and thought provoking experience. Everyone is welcome!
