In the first installment of this two-part event, the Office of Campus Life as part of Black History Month, will present a film screening and discussion of “The Princess and the Frog” on Tuesday, February 16 at 6 p.m. in the Donaghey Student Center Leadership Lounge.

UALR faculty members Dr. Tim Edwards and Ben Fry will host the viewing and discussion about the Disney animated film, which is the first animated Disney film to feature an African-American princess. It created controversy when it was revealed that Princess Tiana’s male love interest was not black.

Dr. Tim Edwards is an associate professor of mass communications, and Ben Fry is the general manager of KLRE/KUAR and adjunct professor in the School of Mass Communication.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 569-3308.
