AFRICANA STUDIES DEPARTMENT presents the 42nd Annual W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture
Black COVID Stories, Black Lives Matter, and Protest: A Conversation about the Ongoing Struggle for Justice and Change

Karsonya “Kaye” Wise Whitehead, Ph.D. ’09, language, literacy, and culture; Associate Professor of African American Studies, Loyola University Maryland; and Radio Host, Today with Dr. Kaye

The year 2020 has been a very difficult one, with the violent deaths of Black men and women at the hands of police and would-be vigilantes and the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the Black and Brown communities. Conversations have been reignited around the country about anti-blackness and anti-racism, policing and justice. As we move forward, questions remain about what the long-term impact will be on our society and the ways in which we can reimagine our way forward. Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead will address these questions and facilitate a larger conversation about systemic racism, engagement, and the current calls for justice.
Sponsored by The Center for Social Science Scholarship and the Dresher Center for the Humanities.
