Today! "Black Dignity" with Vincent Lloyd
A conversation on hope, struggle, domination, and dignity.
In today’s event, Vincent Lloyd, one of the leading young scholars of Black thought, will delineate a new concept of Black dignity, defining it as something performative – not an essential quality but an action: struggle against domination. Without struggle, there is no dignity.
Exploring the way Black writers such as Frederick Douglass, Langston Hughes, and Audre Lorde have dealt with themes such as Black rage, Black love, and Black magic, Lloyd will argue that Black dignity is the paradigm of all dignity and, more audaciously, that Black philosophy is the starting point of all philosophy. Lloyd will be in conversation with South African philosopher Motsamai Molefe.
