Africana Studies Program
Black Popular Culture Lecture Series and Online Research Archive
The Black Popular Culture Lecture Series andOnline Research Archive emphasizes the impact people of African descent have had on both popular culture in American and American culture overall, encompassing Hip-Hop, rhythm and blues, the blues, jazz, dance, instrumentation, film, television, graphic novels, and much, much more. With the support of the College of Social Sciences' grant support as seed money, the Archive serves as an archive for oral interviews, original recordings, a means for publishing on pop culture topics, and holding invited lecture series on various topics.
* This site will also include events from Dr. Johnson's (and eventually others') other projects. One of which will be events from his Annual Hip-Hop Research and Interview Project, for which Dr. Johnson is also the founder and Project Director.
