Several virtual events are planned this month as part of the University of Wyoming’s Black History Month celebration.
“The Death of Black Wall Street and the Myth of the American Dream” is the theme of Black History Month, sponsored by UW’s African American and Diaspora Studies (AADS) and the Black Studies Center. Events are free and open to the public.
“This year’s theme reckons with the 100th anniversary of one of America’s most catastrophic events,” says Fredrick Douglass Dixon, the Black Studies Center’s director and an assistant professor in the UW School of Culture, Gender and Social Justice. “Each event examines the layered nuances of the economic, political and social impacts of Black Wall Street’s death.”
