Author Event
Bill Overton
The Media: Shaping the Image of a People
Held at the Lillie Auditorium in Woods Hole.
Free and open to the public.
Bill
Overton, Author, Activist, Athlete, and Actor will give a stimulating
talk and Power Point presentation at Lillie Auditorium in Woods Hole
about the influences of the media - a current hot topic of
conversation. Over the last 20 years,
Mr. Overton has amassed over one hundred historical illustrations which
helped promote both positive and negative images of many ethnic groups. The images clearly illustrate the
social, racial and political climate of the time. Mr. Overton’s
objective is to educate through the illustrations about how ethnic
groups were and are represented in the media. A positive image can make
a career and a negative image can destroy a career, embarrass and or
anger corporate sponsors and fans. Mr. Overton presents a
stimulating and interactive forum for exploring the effects of these
images on our psyche and the impact that they continue to have today.
