Join the Eiteljorg Museum for this year’s Leon Jett Memorial Lecture, honoring the legacy of Leon Jett, the Eiteljorg Museum’s public programs manager from 1999 to 2007.

This year, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Timothy E. Nelson, a historian, author, professor, and artist. Providing the most in-depth research on Blackdom to date, he reframes the history, focusing on the economic and social ambitions of Afro-Frontierists (Black pioneers). Dr. Nelson is digitally applying his theory of colonization within the digital frontier through various art forms, including academic books, trade books, screenplays, painting, photography, and videography.
