  Waiting to Set It Off Because What's Love Got to Do With It?: Exploring African-American Women and their Roles in Film and Media  
(Diversity)

Although the presence of African-American women in social-cultural media has increased and is even celebrated through more commercial outlets, most of these roles still continue to perpetuate a negative stereotype--a stereotypye that threatens their social identity, stifles their ability and intelligence and exploits their beauty. Through this interactive forum and panel discussion, we will explore the African-American female portrayal in movies and media roles; especially those that serve as a brutal reminder of the racist, sexist and classist social structures that continue to silence the voices of many.
