Discussion | Arturo A. Schomburg Lecture and Conversation
January 24 marks the anniversary of the birth of Afro-Puerto Rican scholar Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (1874-1938), a writer, bibliophile, and historian dedicated to the collection and amplification of the artistic and academic work of people of African descent. Schomburg's seed collection to the Division of Negro Literature, History and Prints included more than 5,000 books; 3,000 manuscripts; 2,000 etchings and paintings; and several thousand pamphlets. This year's annual lecture will feature members from the teams at Fisk University, who, in partnership, are creating a digital edition of the archival papers of Arturo Schomburg, the bibliophile who built two of the world’s most important collections on Black history—one in Harlem and another in Nashville. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Vanessa K. Valdes, author of Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (2017).

Gallery Talk | Bearing Witness: Black Printmakers “Calling Out” America! (in-person and online)
An engaging conversation with esteemed scholar and historian Leslie King Hammond. This presentation reflects on the artistry of African American printmakers in the era of President Roosevelt’s Works Project Administration of 1935 to 1941, work that had a powerful impact on subsequent generations of Black printmakers. Each artist–then and now–sought to create original and truthful prints in their chosen mediums and modalities to “signify on” (or indirectly criticize) the realities of their lives as citizens in the United States. Leslie King Hammond is an art historian, artist, curator, educator, community innovator, and Professor Emerita, former Dean of Graduate Studies, and Project Director for the Ford Foundation-Philip Morris Fellowships for Artists of Color, and Founding Director of the Center of Race and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Book Discussion | The Vietnam War: A Military History (online)
Based on thousands of pages of military, diplomatic, and intelligence documents, Geoffrey Wawro’s book offers a definitive account of a war of choice that was doomed from its inception. In devastating detail, Wawro narrates campaigns where US troops struggled even to find the enemy in the South Vietnamese wilderness, let alone kill sufficient numbers to turn the tide in their favor. Yet the war dragged on, prolonged by presidents and military leaders who feared the political consequences of accepting defeat. In the end, no number of young lives lost or bombs dropped could prevent America’s ally, the corrupt South Vietnamese regime, from collapsing the moment US troops retreated.
