"RACE at the MOVIES: Film representations of Black Americans reflect historical trends & impact audiences off-screen. The author of "Black Oscars" shares research and shows how to recognize racial patterns. Q&A to follow. Anaheim Public Library is pleased to present a series of presentations on the Power of Image. So much of what we think we know about BIPOC individuals in our society is mediated through mainstream media, which generates images for widespread consumption. The question is: are these images within proportion or within distortion? Join author and university professor Dr. Frederick Gooding, Jr., better known as Dr G., as he leads this illuminating, four-part virtual series on the power of image. Register in advance!
