Fourth Annual Du Bois Forum Roundtable & Celebration at Jacob’s Pillow
Friday, July 18 at 4pm | Pillow Grounds
At this fourth-annual gathering of the Du Bois Forum at Jacob’s Pillow, leading writers and artists will reflect upon the intellectual and artistic traditions that W.E.B. Du Bois shaped and the urgency of this work in our current historical moment. We will honor the inaugural Du Bois awardees, including former Governor and First Lady of Massachusetts Deval and Diane Patrick, Secretary of the Smithsonian Lonnie Bunch, and Executive Director of Embrace Boston Imari Paris Jeffries.
In addition to the awards presentation, ticketed programming will include a roundtable featuring Secretary Lonnie Bunch, Thavolia Glymph, Elizabeth Hinton, Nathan Connolly, and Brandon Terry; a book reception with Du Bois Forum authors; an evening performance by Red Clay Dance Company; musical selections by singer/songwriter Candice Hoyes; and a Du Bois-inspired menu curated by James Beard award-winning chef Bryant Terry, author of Black Food.
