Nathan McCall examines the history behind stereotypes of African Americans.  His talk spans from early depictions meant to dehumanize African Americans, which Mr. McCall argues helped slavery persist, through modern images in the media that show African Americans in negative light.  This class took place at Emory University in Atlanta.
