IT STARTS WITH ART: Tuesday, February 16th, from 6:00-8:00 PM at the New York Public library Countee Cullen branch. How does a photo of the president and first lady influence people's view of African American's formal dress style? On the other hand, how do the stereotypical, negative portrayal of African-American males in Hollywood movies have the opposite affect in the eye of the general public. Join the second annual panel discussion at the Countee Cullen Library where artists from a wide range of disciplines will be discussing the role of the arts in shaping African American identity. These questions and more will be tackled. Panelists will include: Roger Bonair-Agard, Deana Lawson, and Marlon Forrester. The Countee Cullen Library is at 104 West 136 Street between Lenox(Malcolm X) and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd (7th Avenue) and was the former location of Madame C.J. Walker's Dark Tower:
