3rd General Session: Wanda B. Knight and Ruth E. Carter
General Session
Wanda B. Knight, Ruth E. Carter
Join Wanda B. Knight, NAEA President, for a special address for visual arts, design, and media arts educators, on behalf of the association, followed by Ruth E. Carter, two-time Academy Award–winning American film costume designer. Best known for turning the Black Panther superhero into an African King, Carter made history as the first Black person to win the Costume Design category and earned Marvel Studios its first Oscar recognition. For Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Carter made history, again, for her outstanding costume design work and became the first Black woman to win multiple Academy Awards in any category and the first costume designer to win for the first film and its sequel.
