The Tar Baby Principle: A Black Feminist Take on Southern Folklore

  • The Wren's Nest 1050 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard Southwest Atlanta, GA, 30310 United States (map)

Join us for a presentation & discussion of how The Tar Baby Principle reclaims tactics of resistance of Black feminine figures in the US.
