Students,
Please come to the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center on Wednesday
night, Nov. 5, at 7 PM, to look at Prof. Frank X. Walker's curated show of
original comics. It's called "The Black Superhero."
This blog accompanies the Introduction to African-American Studies course at The University of Kentucky. The course is an interdisciplinary course, which establishes the intellectual context for an examination of the African-American experience; it introduces students to the various approaches scholars use to analyze that experience.
I especially liked when I was at the exhibit hearing the story of the X-man carving and how Frank unexpectedly was roped into giving it to his (son?) I forget who it was, someone in his family. Touching heirloom now I suppose, quite beautiful really.
