Deborah Willis, Ph.D."Re-imagining Gender, Place and Race in the Making of Gone with the Wind" Zora Neale Hurston Lecture
Monday March 23rd , 2015
6:00pm- 8:00pm
3rd Floor Lecture Hall - 2950 Broadway
"Re-imagining Gender, Place and Race in the Making of Gone with the Wind"
University Professor and Chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging
at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University
2015 marks the 75th anniversary of the making of the film Gone With the Wind. New York University professor, Deborah Willis will consider a comparative perspective of the historic film and the role photography and art played in re-membering and restaging events from the Civil War and American Slavery before and after Emancipation. Taking cues from the recent 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, this talk also examines the public's memory of Slavery through photographs and how images influenced the making of the film. Professor Willis will present overlapping historical narratives from popular culture to literary text making visible the complexities of the film.
This lecture will weave a narrative on the history of American photography during its early years with iconic moments in the film looking closely at the role black American history played in making this film both controversial and celebratory. Willis will include Civil War images and 20th century video clips of scenes from the film, clips of Hattie McDaniel and Carol Burnett's skit, Went with the Wind.
New York University professor Deborah Willis will weave together a narrative of the early years of American photography and film with a reading of iconic moments in Gone With the Wind. In rendering visible the complexities of the film, Professor Willis will also examine the role history played in producing such a controversial and celebrated cultural phenomenon.

Thursday March 26, 2015 - “More Than a Protest Novel” Panel in Harlem
HOLD THE DATE FOR OUR UPCOMING EVENT, “More Than a Protest Novel,” a thought-provoking anti-violence panel that will take place on Thursday, 3/26 at 8:00 p.m. at Land Yoga, in Harlem.
From moderator, Rev. Alfonso Wyatt, to featured panelists, the event will showcase some of New York City’s top minds when it comes to effectively addressing gun violence—and doing so in a “novel” way. The framework for the panel is the first book in Petra Lewis' trilogy, The Sons and Daughters of Ham, Book I: A Requiem, which examines a family in the aftermath of violence.
Panelists include:
• A.T. Mitchell, founder of Man Up! in East New York, Brooklyn
• Iesha Sekou, founder of Street Corner Resources, Harlem
• Allen James, program manager, S.O.S. (Save Our Streets) Crown Heights, Crown Heights Community Mediation Center, Brooklyn
• Kathleen Horan, WNYC public radio reporter who, among other things, did the series “In Harm’s Way, ” which—in 2013—memorialized the individual lives of New York City' kids killed by gunfire
The evening will take a look at personal experiences with violence, the current anti-violence space, real stats on homicide rates, and policy initiatives and new/innovative solutions to address the violence (including prayer)—as well as how some of this ties in to the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases and their outcomes, which ignited protests globally. Reception to follow. HOLD THE DATE—you don’t want to miss this one! More details to come
