content: The roundtable discussion on Black Aesthetics: Historical and Contemporary Issues documented in the Program in African American Culture Collection was designed to unite a small group of scholars in an interdisciplinary discussion to explore historical and contemporary issues of Black aesthetics. The scholars also hoped to address major issues in the development of a conceptual data base on aesthetics and to establish a framework for the validity of work done in African American culture. This collection documents a roundtable discussion on Black Aesthetics: Historical and Contemporary Issues, held Friday April 27, 1984, at the National Museum of American History, fourth floor West conference Room, Smithsonian Institution. This program was organized by Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, Director of the Program in Black American Culture (later known as the Program in African American Culture).
