For the American Cultures Colloquium spring event, Professors Miriam Petty (Northwestern University), Francesca Royster (DePaul University), and Samantha Pinto (University of Texas at Austin) will join in conversation about the state of Black celebrity over the long durée of Black life in the U.S. Reading across texts, genres, and personas, these scholars will situate celebrity as an important form of cultural production while problematizing its role in the social and political fabric of contemporary and past American life.
