This year, the symposium will be held in conjunction with the Morehouse College Department of Sociology’s 70th Annual Family Institute Conference, sharing the theme, Families: Transformations and Trajectories. Highlights of the Family Institute include Dr. Bilal King's After Malcolm Digital Archive presentation; Dr. Cynthia Hewitt's Family Heritage panel; and in collaboration with the African American Studies Carter G. Woodson Annual Speakers Series, a special evening program featuring the Oba of Oyotunji Village, SC.
In addition to the student paper presentations, a highlight of the
SEUSS symposium is the keynote banquet address delivered by a distinguished speaker. In his illustrated presentation, “A Genealogy of People and Place in Savannah: The 1859 Slave Sale at Ten Broeck Race Course,” Dr. Kwesi DeGraft-Hanson uses architectural and cultural information to explore African American history and culture in colonial and antebellum slavery to reveal the hidden landscapes of slavery.
