The Center for Documentary Studies: Beyond the Full Frame Festival
 
with Wesley Hogan and special guest Tim Tyson

Wesley Hogan, Director of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University (CDS), will talk to us about the many programs of the Center and its impact in the Triangle. In addition to giving us an overview, she’ll highlight two strategic initiatives of CDS: the Documentary Diversity Project (DDP) and the new DocX (Doc Exchange) Lab.  Hogan will also speak about the Center’s Continuing Education program, and how it is revitalizing lifetime learning for the 21st century in service to the local community. To further illustrate the type of work happening at CDS, the Center’s Senior Research Scholar and renowned best-selling author Timothy B. Tyson will speak about his award-winning book The Blood of Emmett Till. Specifically, Tyson will address how Till’s case can help us to better understand the challenges our nation faces today.

Wesley Hogan is the director of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, where she teaches the history of youth social movements, African American history, women’s history, and oral history. She is a research professor at the university’s Franklin Humanities Institute and Department of History. Formerly, Hogan taught at Virginia State University, where she codirected the Institute for the Study of Race Relations. Her book on SNCC, Many Minds, One Heart: SNCC’s Dream for a New America (2007), won the Lillian Smith Book Award, among other honors, and she is currently working on a post-1960s history of young people organizing in the spirit of Ella Baker. Since 2013, Hogan has co-facilitated a partnership between the SNCC Legacy Project and Duke University, culminating in the full launch of the SNCC Digital Gateway, whose purpose is to bring the grassroots stories of the civil rights movement to a much wider public.

 

Timothy B. Tyson is Senior Research Scholar at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and also holds a faculty position in the Department of American Studies at the University of North Carolina.  He serves on the executive boards of the North Carolina NAACP, the UNC Center for Civil Rights, the Poor People’s Campaign, and Repairers of the Breach. His 2017 New York Times bestseller, The Blood of Emmett Till, won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award and was a semi-finalist for the National Book Award.  National Public Radio, the Los Angeles Times, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution selected The Blood of Emmett Till as Best Book of 2017. Atlantic Monthly says this book “turns the past into prophecy and demands that we do the one vital thing we aren’t often enough asked to do with history: learn from it.” Tyson’s 2004 Blood Done Sign My Name was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won the Southern Book Critics Circle Award and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary’s Grawemeyer Award in Religion, among others. In 2000, Tyson’s Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power won the Frederick Jackson Turner Prize for best first book in U.S. history and the James Rawley Prize for best book on race, both from the Organization of American Historians. Democracy Betrayed: the Wilmington Race Riot and Its Legacy, co-authored with David Cecelski, won the Outstanding Book Award from the Gustavus Meyers Center for the Study of Human Rights in North America.  The National Association of Black Journalists gave its 2007 Excellence Award to Tyson’s 2006 Ghosts of 1898: Wilmington’s Race Riot and the Rise of White Supremacy. Tyson teaches African American and Southern U.S. history, culture, race and politics to students at Duke University, Durham Technical and Community College, North Carolina Central University, the University of North Carolina and the general public.
