Hopeton Hay Podcasts

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Kevin Strait and Kinshasha Holman Conwill, co-editors of AFROFUTURISM: A History of Black Futures. The book is based on the exhibition of the same name at the National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. The exhibition, according to its web site “immerses visitors in a conversation that reimagines, reinterprets and reclaims the past and present for a more empowering future for African Americans.”
Kevin Strait is a museum curator who has worked on the permanent exhibitions "Musical Crossroads" and the "Power of Place,” as well as leading the Afrofuturism exhibition.
Kinshasha Holman Conwill is deputy director emerita of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
