December 2, 2021 @ 12:00 am
Join us online Thursday, December 16 at 7 pm when the Museum’s Eileen Lynch interviews Afro-American Scholar Dr. Lindsey Swindall.
Swindall teaches at Stevens Institute of Technology. She earned her doctorate in Afro-American Studies from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has written several books on radical activism in the New York City area including “The Politics of Paul Robeson’s Othello” and “Paul Robeson: A Life of Activism and Art.” She is also the author of “The Path to the Greater, Freer, Truer World: Southern Civil Rights and Anticolonialism, 1937-1955”, which came out in paperback in 2019. She has been a public scholar with the New Jersey Council of the Humanities facilitating conversations on race and US history across the state.
In March, she presented a moving lecture at the Museum called, “Reflecting on African American Spirituals” (view here) and we’re delighted to have her back.
