Charlayne Hunter-Gault in conversation with Brandi Powell
Mixed Blood Theatre welcomes pioneering journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault in conversation with Brandi Powell of KSTP 5 Eyewitness News in the Alan Page Auditorium for the first ZEALOUS HELLIONS offering of 2023. This is part of a series of curated on-stage conversations with iconoclastic thought leaders whose world view aligns with Mixed Blood’s mission, vision and values.
On the occasion of the recent publication of Ms. Hunter-Gault’s book, My People: Five Decades of Writing About Black Lives, this conversation will trace her journey from desegregating the University of Georgia to her work on PBS’ NewsHour, The New Yorker Magazine, The New York Times and beyond. This eminent journalist has committed her lifelong work to reporting on Black people in their totality, “in ways that are recognizable to themselves.” And who better to be in dialogue with Ms. Hunter-Gault then Brandi Powell, herself a celebrated journalist of the in-depth series Conversations About Racism and the Road to Equality?
ZEALOUS HELLIONS is a Mixed Blood project to provide the community with real-time, face-to-face conversations between artists, cultural provocateurs, politicians, and thought-leaders in an intimate setting. The program allows audiences a glimpse of a different facet of a known personality, and a refreshing pause for deeper community dialogue.
