HTA – Beauty and Poise: Women Writers of the Harlem Renaissance

February 24, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free

Humanities Teacher Award winner Lashonda Levy (Holmes Community College) will present her public lecture, “Beauty and Poise: Women Writers of the Harlem Renaissance.” This presentation will take place at the McMorrough Library on Holmes’ Goodman Campus. Reception to follow.

The toxicity of the culture of display is not a new revelation. Shakespeare deals with it in Coriolanus. He shows how displaying oneself in a performative manner encourages duplicity and distortion, whereas casting off one’s need to be seen allows one to live truthfully. His message reaches across time to encompass the dangers of some current social media trends.
