Here are some links to the sites I mentioned today:

Thelma Golden’s exhibition at the Whitney Museum (1993), “Black Male”: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Male-Representations-Masculinity-Contemporary/dp/0810968169.

• Here is an interview done 20 years after the exhibition: https://vimeo.com/121285958.

Glenn Ligon’s exhibition at the Whitney Museum (2011), “America”.  The piece is called “Notes on the Margin of the Black Book”: http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/GlennLigon.

Lastly, for resources on topics such as Eugenics, see Facing History and Ourselves at https://www.facinghistory.org/.  They offer workshops across the country and internationally, as well as online.  Once you attend a seminar, you can access their website’s teaching resources, as well as their lending library.
