- Abstract: The Black and Brown in Physics (BBiP) student organization would like to invite you to our upcoming Black History Heritage Month Celebration next Friday, February 20th at 1 PM in Chamberlin 2241.
We have the privilege of again inviting Taylor Bailey, Assistant Director for the Center of Campus History, whose research focuses on how marginalized people (specifically Black women), navigate life, liberation, and kinship through Black feminist thought, literary criticisms, 20th century literature, and Black cultural studies. Bailey's presentation will be on "The History of Blackface and Minstrelsy at UW-Madison".
In addition to the talk, we will also be catering lunch from Les Delices de Awa, a local restaurant that serves authentic West African food.
We will be broadcasting the talk over Zoom as well for those of you interested in joining the presentation remotely.
