Black Men Smile® Founder Moderates Alliance Theater Panel on the Black Male Image

Black Men Smile® founder Carlton Mackey is slated to moderate a digital panel hosted by Atlanta's Alliance Theater on Oct. 8, 2020.  

The conversation will be focused on reckoning with the stereotype of the “Black Male." Mackey will engage panelists about the demands placed on Black men by society and mainstream media, and the ways artist-activists are reshaping this image.

Panelists include:

Mark Kendall, Writer, Actor, Comedian, and Creator of The Magic Negro
Eugene H. Russell IV, Musician, Songwriter, and Actor
Charles Stephens, Founder of The Counter Narrative Project
Anthony Knight, Educator and Founder of The Baton Foundation

The panel discussion will be accompanied by screenings of film shorts from the co-directors of Hands Up, Alexis Woodard and Keith Arthur Bolden, and artist Mark Kendall.
