Introducing a new series designed to bring different scholars to MoAD who will present on a variety of topics related to the African Diaspora. These Member Only events will create a bridge of conversation between scholars and the community. All talks will occur on Saturday mornings 10am -12pm in the Salon. Seating is limited. Please RSVP to education(a)moadsf.org. The first presentation is entitled Fanon's Children: The Black Panther Party and the Rise of the Crips and Bloods in Los Angeles by George Barganeir. George Barganeir is Assistant Professor in the Department of Africology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and is a former Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Social Change. His current work, Fanon’s Children: The Black Panther Party and the Rise of the Crips and Bloods in Los Angeles is an historical study of how evolving political activism, state actions and economic conditions have shaped Black consciousness among young Black men in Los Angeles from 1964 to 1992.
