DESCRIPTION:Blacks in Boston is a conference series conceived of by former 
 Boston College Black Studies Director Amanda V. Houston. Held in 1983\, 198
 4\, 1985\, 1987\, 1989\, 1996\, 2000\, and 2016\, these conferences address
 ed subjects such as blacks in metropolitan Boston\, the struggle for equal 
 education\, the relationships between Irish and black Bostonians\, and the 
 role of immigrants of African descent in the development and evolution of B
 oston’s black communities.\n\nThe 2018 theme is designed to encourage an ex
 amination of the media and Boston’s black communities from historical\, con
 temporary\, and prospective angles. At a time when media as a foundational 
 source of information is being buffeted about by ideological and political 
 assaults\, new economic realities\, and rapid technological change\, it is 
 important that we examine how these are affecting traditional and cutting-e
 dge forms of news delivery and community building among black Bostonians.
