Professor's project examines Black Power movement, anti-colonialism

Ethnic studies professor Robin Hayes will discuss her project on the Black Power movement and African anti-colonialism on Tuesday.

The presentation, titled "I Used the Term Negro and I was Firmly Corrected," marks the fifth event this February hosted by the Office for Multicultural Learning and Igwebuike in celebration of Black History Month.

Hayes' work draws on black newspapers, organizational archives and interviews with activists, as she explores encounters among the Black Panther Party, Organization of the Afro-American Unity and independence movements in Algeria, Congo, Guinea, South Africa and Tanzania. The presentation begins at 4 p.m. in the Williman Room of Benson Memorial Center.
