Sunday, January 24 | 2 p.m.

President Obama’s Impact on Art and Culture in America

Hayti Heritage Center, 804 Old Fayetteville Street, Durham | Free


Join Mark Anthony Neal, professor of black popular culture in the Department of African & African-American Studies at Duke University, for an intriguing discussion on the Obama presidency’s influence on the contemporary landscape. From the many works of art created during his campaign and the selection of art for the walls of the White House, to the entertainers at inaugural events and the designers selected by First Lady Michelle Obama, there has been a notable shift to a global sensibility.

A reception with light refreshments will follow the lecture. Seating is first come, first serve.
