Session 1: Introduction What is Blackness?- The Evolutions and Movement of Racial Thinking from Antiquity to the Renaissance/Early Modern Period
Session 2: Blackface Minstrelsy in North America
Session 3: Passing and Racial Performance Off Stage
Session 4: What is Blackness? What Are We Even Talking About Anymore?
