Black Classicists Spotlight on Dr. Michele Valerie Ronnick's Black Classicists: A Mural Mosaic Exhibition
Dr. Ronnick's Exhibition of 14 Black Classicists portraits has been traveling across the US for many years and in 2024 went to the UK to 9 locations. It has been drawing attention to the accomplishments and lasting influence of many African Americans accomplished in Greek and Latin and classical scholars in their own right. These persons have been long overlooked and underrepresented, especially in the classroom. NCLG hosted Dr. Ronnick in a panel in 2022 ' Facing the Erasure of Black Classicists in America," and also supported her exhibition venue in Washington DC at Catholic University in 2024.
