Contribution of “Black Deaf” Performing Arts in Media has offered some insights into the eyes of Deaf Community and African American Community as well as their history. This presentation will show what Black Deaf Performing Artists have contributed to our history and be recognized. Historically, we have been put in the backburner or overlooked in many mainstreamed books or media. It shows that Deaf people focus on the majority of Deaf people who are non minority while African American ignore the deaf people . Black Deaf Performing Artists look at themselves as not just deaf or black , but as a whole "Black Deaf". This presentation will include the history of black deaf performing arts in media , black deaf performing artists and their accomplishments in media . It is not just a portray of Deaf African American , but for all of us, because the issues of our identity, self-portrayal, culture and language are related to the experiences of an individual who has wondered about who they are and to every group who feels “ invisible” in the eyes of our country. This presentation will also present the "First" in the field of Black Deaf Performing Arts in Media. The information that will be shared , was collected from the videos, films, newspapers, articles, books, internet, anecdotes and other kind of resources.
