Join archivists from Special Collections at the University of Arkansas in a video exploration of selections from their African American poetry collections. Highlights include poems by John Paul Dunbar and Langston Hughes set to music by Florence Beatrice Price Smith, selections of modernist Black poetry that influenced jazz musician John Stubblefield, and an anthology of poetry published by the Works Progress Administration in 1937.
A link will be posted via https://www.facebook.com/FayettevillePublicLibrary at the time of the event. After watching one (or more!) of the videos, use the FPL Facebook page to ask an archivist any questions you might have about the works that were highlighted.
