TEDxCincy - Carlton Farmer - African American History Is American History

About Carlton Farmer:

A lover of history. A reader of books. A sitter of chairs. Carlton Farmer has been working on the nationally traveling museum exhibition "America I AM: The African American Imprint" for the last three years. While working on his masters at the University of Cincinnati, he was the public relations manager and a writer for the now defunct Firesideometer.com, which specialized in reviewing little-known independent music. As the assistant curator of "America I AM," he identifies and locates artifacts for inclusion in the exhibition, doing much of the writing that accompanies these objects. Carlton loves traveling with the exhibition as it moves to different cities across the United States, but is always happy to return to his home in Cincinnati's beautiful Over-the-Rhine.

About TEDxCincy:

It is movement that cannot be stopped. Rhythm that does not slow. It is your own will operating at its greatest force. On October 7, 2010 TEDxCincy uncovered PASSION, the energy behind life's most fearless pursuits.

About TEDx:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
