The Valerie J. Maynard Legacy Symposium
About this Event
Join our celebration which includes the First Annual Valerie J. Maynard Short Film Festival and the Valerie J. Maynard Legacy Symposium, free and open to the public.
In the tradition of gathering, the Valerie J. Maynard Foundation, alongside the Billie Holiday Center for Liberation Arts and Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University, convenes for what would be Valerie's 89th birthday to honor her enduring vision and welcome our 4th cohort of Legacy Interns into the lineage she built. Expect the full richness of Black intellectual and creative life.
Music, memory, fellowship, and the beautiful community that Valerie has built around herself.
