CULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY x ASU PRESENTATION
February 24th, 2010 | By All Day
Last night I attended a presentation featuring Dr. Na’im Akbar, a former President of the Association of Black Psychologists and Author of “Visions for Black Men”. He preached about “Cultural Identity in the 21st Century”. I thought Dr. Akbar made some great remarks about social and racial identity in his presentation and also did a great job in differentiating both of these terms. Truthfully, I was expecting his presentation of cultural identity to hold a specific focus on the 21st century, just as his title of presentation showed; however, his presentation was more of a compare and contrast regarding identity prior to the 21st century and correlating examples from the past to the present day. Overall, it was a great informative presentation. Interestingly enough, a couple faces I know where there showing support to Dr. Akbar’s presentation.
