Joan Maynard Lecture Series

The annual Joan Maynard Lecture Series held Friday, March 24, 2023 at 6:30pm is a spotlight on Black scholars who work within history, sociology, preservation, museum or curatorial studies, library or archival science, oral history, anthropology or cultural criticism and bring their brilliance to Central Brooklyn. This season’s lecturer was none other than Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, noted anthropologist, educator, author, speaker, and DEAI consultant. Her lecture is titled “Why African-American History, Art and Culture Should Matter to All Americans.” This event was free to the public, in-person and virtual.
