In the context of the First Year Success Common Read, we are delighted to be hosting a talk on James Baldwin by Angela Tate, writer, artist, scholar, and curator. Angela serves as the chief curator and director of collections at the Museum of African American History, Boston and Nantucket. She was formerly the inaugural women’s history curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Angela will be talking to us about twentieth century Black internationalisms and the dynamic writer/artist networks of Black intellectuals.
