BLACK IMAGES IN THE MEDIA SYMPOSIUM AND ARTS FESTIVAL
WHAT IS IT: The Black Images in the Media Symposium and Arts Festival, sponsored by the University of Houston African American Studies Program was conceived after the recent controversy involving racially insensitive statements by Keith Richards and Don Imus. Afterwards many in the media offered an analysis that blamed Black pop culture for creating a climate that facilitated such statements. While many of us in the African American community feel that this is yet another case of blaming the victim, we do recognize that it is primarily our role to promote positive black images. The Black Images in the Media Symposium and Arts Festival aims to do just that. Participants will have an opportunity to engage in discussion, dialogue about African American images as well as celebrate the beauty of our images.
