“The Wall of Respect: Public Art and Black Liberation in 1960s Chicago” Book Talk
Learn about an influential public art project from a participant (and iSchool faculty member) who has just published a book about it:
The Wall of Respect: Public Art and Black Liberation in 1960s Chicago, edited by Abdul Alkalimat, Romi Crawford, and Rebecca Zorach
Abdul Alkalimat is a professor emeritus in the iSchool and the Department of African American Studies at the University of Illinois. He has taught courses addressing the digital divide, Black people and information technology, and African American bibliography.
Members of the iSchool community (and others) can also attend a similar event in Chicago on November 9.
This event is sponsored by iSchool, Department of African American Studies, School of Art and Design
