Hair: From Pretty to Political
Join us for a discussion of women’s hair from slavery to the present and its political role over the centuries. Discussions will include pre-diasporic hair care, hair during slavery including New Orleans Tignons, black hair care in the 19th and 20th centuries, hair and the Black is Beautiful movement, and how Black women continue to use their hair to assert power, pride, and identity.
