Silencing the Stories from the Arthur G. Dozier School For Boys Seminar on Oct. 23

The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences' Department of Africana Studies presents Silencing Their Stories: The Politics of Memory and Race in the Public Memorialization of a State Reform School. This Works-in-Progress Seminar features Kaniqua Robinson, visiting assistant professor in the Department of Africana Studies with comments by Laura Lovett, Department of History, and Courtney Weikle-Mills, Department of English. 

This talk explores the silencing of Black experiences in the public memorialization of the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (1900-2011), a state reform school in Marianna, Florida. The presentation further examines these memory-making processes as a critique of the juvenile justice system.
