Eighteen Black Classicists
To commemorate Juneteenth, we would like to draw special attention to eighteen influential 19th century black classicists who made groundbreaking achievements in Classics education. Black Classicists | A Mural Mosaic, celebrates the important role of African Americans in the field of Classics, and provides a unique opportunity to reflect upon the purpose of higher education and its place in the struggle for equality and human enrichment. Read more about the classicists on the Center’s website.
From Mel Hardy: This has been a most important project auguring the impact and influence of our humanist scholars, academics, arts, culture and humanities practitioners, and civil society actors, to take their rightful place in leadership to recalibrate a new American and global narrative predicated on the incremental betterment of all in the human family.
