  10th Annual AADS Humanities Afternoon- Brownstones to Beloved: Diasporic Crossings in the Works of Toni Morrison and Paule Marshall

  Africa & African Diaspora Studies Program, Florida International University

  The 10th Annual AADS Humanities Afternoon will recognize the work of two trailblazing Black women writers who have made groundbreaking contributions to the development of the African Diasporic literacy tradition. Both Marshall and Morrison have centered the role of women, not just as cultural bearers of the African presence in the Americas, but as key actors in the preservation of our cultural historiography, our hopes and dreams, our brilliance and virtuosity, our spirit of resilience and transformation against seemingly impossible odds.

  Keynote Speaker Dr. Carole Boyce Davies, Cornell University

  Dr. Patricia Saunders, Associate Professor, University of Miami
