Major Lecture Series

Our four endowed lecture series feature renowned scholars in the field of African and African American Studies.  Lecturers present new original work which they unfold to the Harvard community over three consecutive evenings.  The talks are then published as monographs through Harvard University Press, Oxford Press, or Basic/Civitas Books, a member of Perseus Books Group.  Further details on the Du Bois, Huggins, Locke, and McMillan-Stewart lectures follow below.  Streaming videos of recent lectures are available here.
