Pen, Performance, and Prophecy:  Literary Expression Along an AfroCarolina Continuum

Afro Carolina declares intersection of ethnicity and place. But what is the Afro- Carolina tradition and how is it tethered to Black Southern writing and creativity? We’ll hear from “Afro Carolina” originator and filmmaker Michelle Lanier as she gives us a history lesson and explores the Black Carolina legacy. Follow panelists, Regina Carter Garcia, Fred Joiner, and more as they explore how Afro Carolina roots originally show up in their craft and govern the approach to their craft. We’ll talk about where we are, where we’re headed, and where we’re going.
