In this hour-long lecture, clips and images from Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Meryl Streep and more will showcase what made these actresses unforgettable, and why we still revere them today.

R. Derek Black (they/​them) is a doc­tor­al can­di­date in his­to­ry at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Chica­go. Since 2016, they have spo­ken to many audi­ences at uni­ver­si­ties, foun­da­tions, insti­tu­tions, muse­ums, syn­a­gogues, and church­es. They received the Elie Wiesel Award and a human­i­tar­i­an award from the Anti-Defama­tion League. The Klansman’s Son is their first book.
In an era in which anti­semitism seems to be every­where, R. Derek Black’s mem­oir, The Klansman’s Son , is fright­en­ing­ly time­ly. Black grew up as the ulti­mate white suprema­cist. Black’s moth­er was once mar­ried to KKK Grand Wiz­ard David Duke; their father, Don Black, was a proud KKK leader whose hero was Adolf Hitler.
