Whether you're a fan of classics like "Shaft" and "The Learning Tree," or if you're more into contemporary films like "Black Panther," Kansas-born artist Gordon Parks (1912-2006) has had a direct hand in shaping the movies we love for more than a half century.

Dr. Rhea Combs, director of curatorial affairs at the Smithsonian Museum, will deliver the talk, "Beneath These Restless Skies: Gordon Parks and His Cinematic Impact."

She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Howard University, a Master of Arts degree from Cornell University, and a Doctorate from Emory University. Her writings have been featured in anthologies, academic journals, and exhibition catalogues covering a range of topics including African American female filmmakers, Black popular culture, visual aesthetics, filmmaking, and photography.
