# Pheolyn Allen: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

2023 Junior Fellow Pheolyn Allen's curated project, The Odyssey of Black Studies in Public Broadcasting, is an online exhibit to be launched in 2023 on the website of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (https://americanarchive.org/) showcasing the history of what we know as Black and Afro-Diasporic Studies in American higher education and public schools. The exhibit examines the radical organizing and acts of political dissent that led to the founding of these programs, the political and theoretical foundations of this field of study, and their influence on a national and global scale, through the lens of public broadcasting programs that feature discussions and addresses of key figures. Tracing this history from the student protests of 1969 at San Francisco State University that led to the founding of the nation's first ethnic studies program, to the 50th year anniversary of Black Studies' founding itself, this exhibit aims to give voice to the scholarship of Black life that has had a bold history within public broadcasting.
