This panel highlights the strength and diversity of UT faculty research in areas related to Kwame Brathwaite’s work, including Black Power studies, African diasporic fashion and self-presentation, and Black feminism. UT faculty members Peniel E. Joseph, Lyndon K. Gill, and Lisa B. Thompson, with special guest Kwame S. Brathwaite, discuss the historic and cultural contexts of Brathwaite’s photography. This event is organized in partnership with the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at The University of Texas at Austin’s LBJ School of Public Affairs, in conjunction with the exhibition "Black Is Beautiful: The Photography of Kwame Brathwaite."
