This film is a personal exploration that will tell a richly archival, thought-provoking story that gives voice to the insights and experiences of Beulah Mae Mitchell, the aunt of the Los Angeles-based filmmaker, who spent 45-years working at Mattel.

Upon Mattel’s 1980 release of Black Barbie, the film turns to the intergenerational impact the doll had. Discussing how the absence of black images in the “social mirror” left Black girls with little other than White subjects for self-reflection and self-projection. Beulah Mae Mitchell and other Black women in the film talk about their own, complex, varied experience of not seeing themselves represented, and how Black Barbie’s transformative arrival affected them personally.

Free tickets are available at capitolbg.org.

We’re trying to reenergize and reorganize the WKU Math Club this semester!

The WKU Math Club exists to provide a social outlet for math lovers, likers, and non-haters. In the past we’ve organized game nights, trivia contests, movie nights, origami folding sessions, and other fun activities that are related (at least tangentially) to mathematics. 

But we want the club to be whatever YOU want it to be!!  If you are interested in being a part of a newly revitalized WKU Math Club, please join us for an organizational, brainstorming, and planning meeting on Wednesday, November 8 at 5:00 p.m. in COHH 4123. We will have FREE PIZZA and other snacks.
