Join us for an engaging discussion with author and Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in American History at Northumbria University (UK) E. James West, who has embarked on a “fresh and fascinating exploration of Ebony’s political, social, and historical content illuminates the intellectual role of the iconic magazine and its contribution to African American scholarship.
