WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Favorite session of #asr2018 Dr. Stephanie Boddie and @sonarijo have inspired me to use more art and narrative in my sociology.
Creative, important, inspiring session with Stephanie Boddie @Baylor & @sonarijo on ‘Unfinished Business’ oral history project from the Great Migration to #BlackLivesMatter combining spirituals, video & speech, focused particularly on the @MotherBethel church #ASR18
”Unfinished Business excellently fills the knowledge gap and sets up audiences to engage in truthful, objective and humane considerations on
issues surrounding racism.”
“Dr. Stephanie Boddie’s Unfinished Business is educative and thought -provoking. It “calls audiences to remember our past” which is good for those who already are aware of the narrative. I am particularly intrigued by the fact that the film provides information for those who have little or no knowledge of the past. The film delves into history, tells untold stories and invites audiences to action.“
"On behalf of the planning committee, I write to extend our appreciation for your presentation, "Unfinished Business: From the Great Migration to Black Lives Matters" at our symposium, Shifting Narratives: Rethinking the Past to Understand the Present. Your program captured the audience’s attention and drew them to your impressive work. Your beautiful, perfectly sung introduction and your film were captivating. You made a wonderful contribution to our day. We hope you will watch for next year’s symposium and join us again."
