The Trayvon Generation: A Celebration and Conversation with Elizabeth Alexander | Whitney Museum of American Art

'This program with Elizabeth Alexander is a conversation about her new book The Trayvon Generation, a meditation on the power of art and culture to illuminate America’s unresolved problem with race. Alexander invites artists and writers Reginald Dwayne Betts, Mitchell S. Jackson, Julie Mehretu, and Jacqueline Woodson, to reflect on how they confront and embrace, as artists and parents, the challenges facing young Black Americans. This program explores the act of imagination and how it converges and diverges with practices of care.'
