Description

Keith Knight '90, Cartoonist and Executive Producer of Woke on Hulu, returns to his alma mater, Salem State, for a community presentation. Join us for this community presentation with Salem State graduate and 2022 honorary degree recipient, Keith Knight '90, for a screening of one of Keith's new episodes of Woke, from season two on Hulu. About Woke: Keef Knight, creator of Toast & Butter, is a black cartoonist on the verge of mainstream success. He prides himself on 'keeping it light' and shies away from taking controversial stances. After being racially profiled by overly aggressive policemen, the traumatized Keef finds that he's able to see and hear inanimate objects talking to him. Now more sensitive to racism, and the everyday microaggressions he'd tried so hard to avoid acknowledging in every situation, Keef must figure out how to maintain his relationships and a career as a 'woke' black man. A light reception will take place after the screening and Keith will sign prints for guests in attendance. This event is free and open to the public, registration is required.
