The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History of Conflict and Citizenship with Deborah Willis
- Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2021
- Time: 12:00 pm
- Location: Online
Professor Deborah Willis discusses The Black Civil War Soldier and offers a kaleidoscopic, yet intimate, portrait of the African American experience from the beginning of the Civil War to 1900. Willis pinpoints the importance of African American communities in the development and prosecution of the war and shows how photography helped construct a national vision of blackness, war, and bondage while unearthing the hidden histories of black Civil War soldiers.
