Wednesday, September 28 @ 6 PM in OC’s beautiful Performing Arts Building
Signing Black in America is the second film in the Talking Black in America documentary project. It features the pioneering research on Black ASL by Dr. Joseph Hill (Rochester Institute of Technology), who will join us by zoom to discuss the film and his work. Join us for this fascinating exploration at the cutting edge of ASL research!
Join OC Live for “Signing Black in America” film screening and discussion to follow with Dr. Joseph Hill on Wednesday, September 28th, from 6pm – 7:30pm in the Oxnard College Performing Arts Building (PAB). Just like spoken languages, sign languages have dialects. Black ASL is the unique dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) that developed within historically segregated African American Deaf communities. Largely unknown to outsiders, Black ASL has become a symbol of solidarity and a vital part of identity within the Black Deaf community.www.oxnardcollege.edu
