SUMMARY:In Pursuit of Knowledge: Black Women and Educational Activism in Antebellum America
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History\, will host a lecture about the struggle Black women and girls faced in Antebellum America to secure their educational rights. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nIn In Pursuit of Knowledge: Black Women and Educational Activism in Antebellum America (New York University Press\, 2019)\, Dr. Kabria Baumgartner explores the lives of Black girls and women who campaigned for their educational rights at a time when Black education was under siege in the nineteenth-century North. \nThese ambitious\, purposeful\, and thoughtful Black girls and women not only fought to democratize education by reversing policies of racial exclusion at schools and in the teaching profession\, but also they sought to open up educational pathways for themselves and others. In doing so\, they transformed public education in the North.

SUMMARY:Satirical Racism: Afro-Brazilian Activism
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History\, will host a lecture about Afro-Brazilian satirical racism. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Program\nThis lecture presents satire\, irony\, and parody as a means to contest racist structures through media production. Specifically\, the lecture will examine the Is That OK With You? YouTube Series\, as it presents a break from traditional relationships between humor and race in Brazil by turning attention toward systemic racism. Professor Gillam theorizes “satirical antiracism” as a way to understand how Afro-Brazilians deploy satire to make visible the contradictions and inconsistencies of the racial order. Satirical antiracism is a form of activism that invokes the tension of contradictory subjects\, such as humor and racism in communicating its message. \nAbout the Speaker\nReighan Gillam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Southern California. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creations. \nRegister for Zoom Lecture Here
