Understanding the Legacy of Historically Black Colleges & Universities
At Getty Images we recognize the power of imagery. A single photo can encompass a lifetime of experiences that help shape the world around us. To better understand the rich legacy and lasting educational contributions established with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Getty Images has partnered with HBCUs to help preserve their visual history for future generations with the new HBCU Photo Collection.
The Getty Images Photo Archives Grant
The Getty Images Photo Archives Grant for HBCUs is a program created in partnership with the Getty Family and Stand Together to commit $500,000 to digitize the visual histories currently stored at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This grant puts the power in the hands of the school by allowing their students and faculty to curate their own collection of images to be submitted into the new HBCU Photo Collection. Schools are eligible to apply every year, and a committee will select four recipients to receive the grant and begin the digitization process.
The History of Historically Black Colleges & Universities
HBCUs are cornerstones of cultural development and education systems in the United States. These institutions were initially founded to uplift and educate Black Americans in the United States during a period of segregation where many accredited universities severely limited or prohibited the enrollment of Black students. The official moniker of Historically Black Colleges and Universities was initially established by the Higher Education Act of 1965 and cited an HBCU as any historically accredited black college or university that was established before 1964 with the mission of educating Black Americans.
As of January 2022, there are 107 accredited HBCUs in the United States including the inaugural recipients of the Getty Images Photo Archives Grant for HBCUs: Claflin University, Jackson State University, North Carolina Central University, and Prairie View A&M University.
With Black History Month on the horizon, we wanted to take a moment to spotlight some of the most notable alumni from our 2021 grant recipients.

Leo Twiggs is a painter who graduated from Claflin University in 1956 with a degree in Art. Twiggs is most renowned in for his works with the batik process and was the first visual artist to receive a Verner award for his contributions within the art community of South Carolina.
André Leon Talley – Fashion Journalist
André Leon Talley is a fashion journalist who graduated from North Carolina Central University in 1970 with a degree in French Literature. Talley is an icon within the fashion industry having worked for many years as the creative director and editor-at-large for Vogue magazine.
Shasta Averyhardt – Professional Golfer
Shasta Averyhardt is a professional golfer who graduated from Jackson State University in 2008 with a degree in Accounting. In 2010, Averyhardt became the first black woman to qualify for the LPGA Tour since 2001.

What Can the French Renaissance Do For Ecocriticism?
Editors Pauline Goul and Phillip John Usher
The present volume seeks to offer a set of answers to the question raised by its title, “What Can the French Renaissance Do For Ecocriticism?”
All too often, theory in general–and ecocriticism in particular–are said to serve as “lenses” through which we can understand (early modern) literature. All too often, contemporary thought models are “applied” to (early modern) literature, as if true lay only in the contemporary. This volume’s purpose is to envision a back-and-forth, to allow (early modern French) literature to interrogate, to nuance, to provoke, contemporary ecological theory. Our volume’s title owes it concise formulation to Louisa Mackenzie, who first identified that question as pertinent at the Vancouver MLA conference in January 2015. Mackenzie, a scholar at the cutting edge of French Renaissance Studies in the United States, suggested that we should not be asking what ecocriticism can “do” for our readings of the early modern period, but precisely the opposite. Indeed, turning back to 16th century France means shifting to an intellectual context in which key concepts—nature/culture, geology, Deep Time, etc.—were thought in ways uncannily similar to contemporary thought, precisely because certain disciplinary “splits” and intellectual conceptualization had not yet happened, precisely because certain disciplines (e.g. geology) were nascent, but not born. This volume seeks to take seriously Mackenzie’s question and to offer a set of responses. Each chapter of the volume will take up a specific concept or idea of contemporary ecocriticism, in order to question it and refine it.
Possible concepts/ideas to address include:
-Chakrabarty’s idea of putting Deep Time in dialogue with the human time of history
-Morton’s Dark Ecology
-the nonhuman and objects, Morton’s hyperobjects, Jane Bennett’s Vibrant Matter
-inter-relatedness and the mesh
-logocentrism / anthropocentrism
-the Anthropocene in 1600
Another reason this volume is so urgent is that it will offer a much needed response to the anglocentrism of much ecocriticism, denounced by Tim Morton in his guest column in PMLA on a “Queer Ecology”, and yet made especially clear of late (in 2016) when the MLA’s new forum on « Ecocriticism and the Environmental Humanities,” whose executive committee is made up of Sharon O’Dair, Stacy Alaimo, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, and Stephanie LeMenager, all professors of English, defined ecocriticism as « a scholarly practice within English Studies. » Jeff Persel’s fabulous edited volume The Environment in French and Francophone Literature (FLS, vol 39, 2012), makes it evidently clear that ecocrticism is not, of course, limited in such a way to English departments! A related problem is that, even when considered as anglo-centric, ecocriticism as a discipline seems to be formulated mostly by voices that either look at post-1800 sources or at medieval ones. There is thus a gaping lack of any early modern point of view, which, especially with the possible starting date of the Anthropocene in 1600, leaves much to be done. This volume will thus assert and demonstrate the need for ecocriticism and ecological thought to take up and respond to non-English materials from the early modern period. In the words of Louisa Mackenzie in her article in the French Literature Series’s ‘Environment’ issue (2012), “It’s a good time to think about an early modern, a French, a queer ecology.”
The book will be in English, and the submission of chapters is set for May 30, 2017.
Please submit a title, 300-word abstract, and a short CV to Pauline Goul (email@example.com) and Phillip John Usher (firstname.lastname@example.org) by June 20, 2016.
