This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged. This event takes place at the Auburn Avenue Research Library, 101 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303. Doors open at 6pm. Event begins promptly at 6:30pm. Charis and the Auburn Avenue Research Library welcome Dr. Karida L. Brown in conversation with Dr. Lakeysha “Key” Hallmon for a celebration of The Battle for the Black Mind, a history of education in the United States from the end of the Civil War to the historic ruling of Brown v. Board of Education. In The Battle for the Black Mind, Dr. Karida Brown explores the struggle to define and control the education of African Americans amid shifting societal attitudes and forms of systemic exclusion. From the perspective of freed slaves seeking empowerment and liberation through education, to the white elites aiming to shape the future of the workforce and consolidate power, The Battle for the Black Mind explores the formation of segregated education systems and the influence of philanthropic organizations, religious institutions, and Black educators themselves in shaping these structures. It also examines the global reach of these education models, particularly their impact on African societies under colonial rule. Ultimately, Dr. Brown presents a critical investigation of the foundational roots of racial inequality in American education, arguing that it wasn't just about the separation of institutions—but about controlling access to the ideals of American democracy.

The death and final days of Edgar Allan Poe remain one of literature’s great unsolved mysteries. This “macabre cabaret” uses music, movement, projections, and shadow play that leads an audience through the darkened catacombs of Poe’s last nightmare, encountering many of his most infamous creations as he draws ever closer to the Red Room. The Shylock Project is a group of multi-disciplinary artists from Central New York, who have performed original works at festivals in Montreal, Toronto, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and (this summer!) in Edinburgh. They return to Auburn Public Theater after a several-year absence, having previously presented Kafka's Metamorphosis: The Musical! In 2018 Kafka's metamorphosis: The Musical and Orson Welles/Shylock played sold-out houses and were nominated for Best English Language Production. Edgar in the Red Room makes its Auburn Public Theater debut featuring performances by actors Carly Nicolai, Aidan McKenna, and Patrick Burke, and by dancer and choreographer Maya Dwyer. Ori Inal projections are designed by Lindsey Voorhees with costumes by Kylee Galarneau. The text and music are written by Matt Chiotin and Greg Giovanini, based upon the works of Poe.
