Meet Jerome Bias, Historian of African American Furniture Making and Design!

How did Jerome Bias evolve from his biology major at the College of Wooster into the best-known re-creator of the American South’s antebellum Black furniture making tradition and a proponent of traditional hearth cooking?  Hear Jerome talk about his mission “to inspire in others the understanding of both the power and paradox of history,” and the development of his career as a public humanities activist, historian, and Africana Studies practitioner over lunch (provided). Cosponsored by the History Department, Africana Studies Department, Art History Baldwin Lectures Endowment, Bonner Center, Public Humanities Concentration and the Evans Home Historical Society.
