Black History Month discussion on ‘Religion and Community’
Alton Pollard III, dean and professor of religion and cultures at the Howard University School of Divinity, will present “Between Life and Death: The Middle Passage,” at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, in Shriver Center multipurpose rooms B and C. His talk is part of the Center for American and World Cultures (CAWC) lecture series on “Religion and Community” and the Miami University Black History Celebration.
Pollard’s presentation will examine the black religious experience and how “Middle Passages grapples with the rational black mind and the spirit of the ancestors — decolonizing our understanding of inherited traditions, creating a new word when and where necessary and affirming the black faithful every step of the way.”
The talk, free and open to the public, is sponsored by Miami’s black history celebration committee, CAWC and the Honors and Scholars Faber Scholar-in-Residence program with support from other campus organizations. For more information, contact the CAWC at (513) 529-8309.
