Join us in a late celebration of February as Black History Month to honor the contributions and legacy of African Americans across U.S. history and society.
Guest speaker: Jeffrey E. Anderson – the U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Slovakia, who specializes in the history of the American South, African American history, and the Atlantic World. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Florida and now serves as a full professor and associate director of the School of Humanities at the University of Louisiana Monroe. Currently, he is affiliated with the Departments of British and American Studies and the Department of History of the Faculty of Arts of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.
Jeffrey will provide a brief overview of African American history and will talk about Voodoo and Hoodoo. As he says: “Voodoo is a word that many people in America and around the world have heard, but few understand what it means. Though the average person associates it with magic and evil deeds, such was not necessarily the case. While magic, called Hoodoo, was indeed a part of Voodoo, the latter was a full-fledged religion, complete with its own pantheon of deities, communal ceremonies, and clergy, that once existed in the Mississippi River Valley.” Jeffrey will happily answer all questions after his presentation.
Webinar will be held on March 17, 2022 at 6 p.m. (18:00 CET) and the attendance is free.
