Dr. Latasha Kelly, Ph.D., will present a keynote lecture on how to foster more meaningful engagement with the Black community by consistently honoring black culture and experiences all year-round.
Black culture and contributions have significantly shaped our society, yet they are often only highlighted during Black History Month. This limited recognition fails to capture the richness and diversity of Black experiences and perpetuates a narrow understanding of Black history. While mainstream society and media frequently consume and appropriate Black creations, they frequently neglect to engage deeply with the historical and social contexts that inform this cultural ingenuity. In 2025, the Advanced Learning Library, in partnership with The Millennial Black Professor® and TMBP Media, will host AMPLIFY 365™, a quarterly series designed to celebrate and honor Black culture, history, and experiences. Each event will focus on a different aspect of the Black experience, offering a mix of presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions.
