SUMMARY:Year of Global Africa: Special Collections Open House, Library--Afrofuturism
DESCRIPTION:
 SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OPEN HOUSE AFROFUTURISM: ORIGINS 
 AND INFLUENCE OF THE BLACK PANTHER\n
 \n
 	Wednesday, March 21 • 2 to 5 p.m. Special Collections 
 Seminar Room, Main Library\n
 \n
 	The 
 film "Black Panther" has been received with much 
 enjoyment and acclaim. However, the Black 
 Panther's appearance in comics in the 1960s 
 inspired much more.\n
 \n
 	In this pop-up open house, 
 we explore the origins of the Black Panther, 
 in #52 of Marvel's Fantastic Four and later 
 in Jungle Action. We also explore how the 
 Black Panther has influenced Afrofuturism in 
 comic art and other genres through items in 
 our Special Collections.\n
 \n
 	From sci-fi fiction 
 to art, Afrofuturism is at one time a creative, 
 a theoretical, and an inspirational force 
 that is actively shaping and rewriting the 
 Black experience.\n
 \n
 	Come discover the material 
 behind the movie and see why Afrofuturism 
 matters.\n
 \n
