SUMMARY:Author Talk: History of Black Education
DESCRIPTION: \nAuthor Talk on Education PBS Books\, in partnership with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH)\, presents their author Jarvis Givens\, and scholars Cornel West and Brandon Terry discussing the history of Black education in the US sparked by Givens’ new book  Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching. \nAbout the Book \nGivens’ new book Fugitive Pedagogy journeys through the subversive history of black education\, and it uses the life of famed educator Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950) to elevate the political and intellectual contributions made by teachers to the long black freedom struggle.\n\nAbout the Conversation\nProfessors Jarvis Givens and Cornel West will discuss the life of Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950) as a student\, teacher\, and education leader. But\, as Givens shows in his new book\, Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching (Harvard University Press\, 2021)\, Woodson was the product of longstanding subversive traditions among black schoolteachers\, the educators who taught him and those whom he worked alongside. Givens and West will discuss why black teachers were so central to the long black freedom movement\, and what lessons we might glean from their legacy as we search for meaningful education today. This conversation will be moderated by Professor Brandon Terry.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: History\, Race and Photography
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books\, in partnership with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH)\, will host a conversation on Monday\, May 17 at 8pm to discuss History\, Race and Photography\, highlighting the recently released book To Make Their Own Way in the World: The Enduring Legacy of the Zealy Daguerreotypes.  This book is a profound consideration of some of the most challenging images in the history of photography: fifteen daguerreotypes—men and women of African descent who were enslaved in South Carolina. The conversation will feature four extraordinary scholars; Ilisa Barbash\, Deborah Willis\, Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham\, and Sarah Elizabeth Lewis. \nThis important conversation will delve into the daguerreotypes that were made by photographer Joseph T. Zealy for Harvard professor Louis Agassiz in 1850 and were rediscovered at the Peabody Museum in 1976. Since that time\, the images have drawn worldwide interest\, provoking wide-ranging interpretations and raising critical questions about the history and conditions of slavery\, racism\, representation\, and identity.  The conversation will examine the role photography plays in discussing race and our history. \nAbout Contributor & Editor \nIlisa Barbash is the curator of visual anthropology at Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. She co-directed the films In and Out of Africa (1992) and Sweetgrass (2009)\, which was nominated as best documentary film for the Independent Spirit Awards\, Gotham Award\, IDA Documentary Award\, and Cinema Eye Awards and was selected for the U.S. State Department and the University of Southern California’s 2012 American Documentary Showcase.
