While the session takes place during the ALA Annual Conference, you are not required to attend the Conference to attend this session. Please see the following description, and register at [ https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIoc-GgrDkiH9IoJoN718BNVz6fEkqFopnE | https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIoc-GgrDkiH9IoJoN718BNVz6fEkqFopnE ] 
-------- 
Join founder of Dieselfunk Studios, Tim Fielder, as he discusses his groundbreaking new graphic novel, INFINITUM: An Afrofuturist Tale, with Tatanisha Love, a member of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) and the ALA Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (GNCRT). 

Afrofuturism re-envisions a thriving world where there is power in Black people, Black history, and Black advancement. It celebrates Black joy and Black community without fear or oppression. This conversation will include the scope of Afrofuturism, its evolution, and ways to incorporate INFINITUM in educational settings. 

A classroom study guide will be available for download near the end of the event.
