Isabel Wilkerson Lecture and Q&A at the BMA

The BMA will host a special Community Day presentation in partnership with the Open Society Institute-Baltimore (OSI).

Join us in the BMA Auditorium or online for a lecture and conversation with Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson, author of the award-winning book The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration. Wilkerson will share her perspectives on the Great Migration and its relevance to present-day migration via Zoom, followed by a hybrid conversation with Jessica Bell Brown, co-curator of A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration and Curator and Department Head for Contemporary Art at the BMA.

This event is part of OSI’s Talking About Race series, which first featured Wilkerson in 2011.

Registration is required to watch online or to attend the in-person broadcast in the BMA Auditorium. Recording is not permitted.
