Dr. Robin D. Muhammad
Dr. Robin D. Muhammad discusses “MLK’s Vision for the African Diaspora At Home and Abroad” on Wednesday, Jan. 18, from noon to 1 p.m. in Baker Center 231.
Muhammad is Chair and Associate Professor of African American Studies and Director of the African American Research and Service Institute at Ohio University.
As a labor historian, Muhammad studies workers, their communities and their political institutions. Her current research focuses on the history of industrial workers of African descent. Her book manuscript, Arsenal of Liberation, is a study of the African American experience in 20th-century California. By focusing on changes in the shipbuilding industry in northern California and the growing African American community, she is able to trace the challenges and limitations of liberal coalitions, technological innovation and federal policy.
The talk is sponsored by the African Studies Program. For more information, contact african.studies@ohio.edu.
