‘Black Joy’ explored in Black History Month artist panel hosted by James Lick Middle School
The concept of “Black Joy” has meant different things to different Black individuals over the years: For some it is performing acts to push for inclusion, for others it’s the feeling of accomplishment when racial divides are challenged, and some define it simply as the feeling of resistance they experience just daring to exist in society.
To celebrate Black History Month, the African American Student Success Team at James Lick Middle School is presenting an online conversation, titled “Forward Together: Celebrating Black Joy in the Performing Arts,” hosted by Keith Carames and Whitnee Garrett-Walker.
