Conversations in Black Freedom Studies- Fall 2016 Series Overview
This fall semester, the Conversations in Black Freedom Studies series will feature experts that will explore four critical issues: 1) the menace of white terror and criminal injustice against the black community in general and black women in particular; 2) the gift of Black and Puerto Rican Renaissance and the Northern organizing tradition from New York to Chicago; 3) The road from the war on poverty 50 years later to the criminalization of the poor under the mask of welfare reform; and 4) the new research honoring the militant role of black women radicals in the freedom struggle, featuring Gloria Richardson and Mae Mallory.
RSVP for the first program of the season, "Black Women and the Criminal Justice System," here.

Black Power 50 Pop-Up Display
Currently on view
As part of our yearlong exploration of 50 years of the Black Power Movement (which includes our two-part digital exhibition), we’ve assembled a preview of what you can expect from our Black Power 50 exhibition, which will be presented in February 2017 in two galleries.
This pop-up display is on view in our front lobby in the windows adjacent to the recently renovated Schomburg Shop. There you will find an introduction to the show, which includes provocative photographs that resonate with both the movement and its relevance in today’s political climate.
Don’t forget to also take home our Black Power 50 card as a takeaway reminder of our expanded exhibition coming this winter!
