The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity
Channel: US National Archives
Date: 2021-02-25

The black family has been a topic of study across disciplines—history, literature, the visual arts, film, sociology, anthropology, and social policy. It has been described as a rich tapestry for exploring African American past and present, a microcosm of the entire race, and its complexity as the foundation of African American life and history. A panel will discuss these ideas and perspectives including family traditions, brothers and sisters, power-couples, and community. Moderated by Ida E. Jones, University Archivist, Morgan State University, panelists: include Alison Parker, Author, Unceasing Militant, the Life of Mary Church Terrell; and Darius Young, Author, Robert R. Church, Jr. and the African American Political Struggle;  John Whittington Franklin and Karen Roberts Franklin, Franklin Global LLC, Managing Members, Barbara Spencer Dunn, ASALH Vice President for Membership & Contributor and Member of the Black History 365 (BH365) Professional Development Team.
Presented in partnership with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
