The Design + Social Justice Symposium presents a Panel Discussion moderated by Patrick Jones, associate professor of history and ethnic studies.

Panelists include: Emory Douglas, Billy X Jennings, Suzun Lucia Lamaina, and Justin Kemerling.

Professor Jones researches, writes and teaches about the civil rights/Black Power era, America in the 1960s, race relations, urban inequality, social movements, electoral politics, African American experience in the “Jazz Age,” and post-WWII American popular culture. Harvard University published his award-winning book, The Selma of the North: Civil Rights Insurgency in Milwaukee, in 2009. Tim Tyson called the book “…a riveting new story of the civil rights movement in America, a tale on par with Selma, Birmingham, and Montgomery in its power and importance” and Jeanne Theoharis has written, “The Selma of the North provides a devastating rebuttal of many of the conventional narratives of the civil rights movement.”
