Community and Campus Day
On Saturday, February 15th, Ohio University's Department of African American Studies
and the Multicultural Genealogical Center of Chesterhill, Ohio will host the second
annual Community and Campus Day. Equipped with a theme of "A Tribute to Family,"
the event consists of a variety of activities and booths that celebrate the history
and accomplishments of people of color from southeast Ohio.
On a recent edition of WOUB-AM's AM Athens, Bryan Gibson spoke with
Dan Williams, Professor Emeritus of Photography at Ohio University and assistant
to the provost for minority graduate students. Among the topics discussed were
his involvement with Community and Campus Day, his photographs of Emancipation
Day celebrations from the past 20 years, and what it means to be a "social
documentarian"
