About the event
Come with us as Professor Porterfield parts the velvet curtains that conceal the life, times, and history of the sporting life. The demi-monde world of the night, the other side of the street, and the sporting life has played its part in hoodoo, conjure, and rootwork. In this class the good Professor will take you into the underworld beliefs and secret practices of the sporting life and show you its impact on the world of magic and spirituality. From the prostitutes of the Bible, the working girls of Storyville and Memphis, the high-stakes bettors, the magnetic madams, the persuasive pimps, and the cagey corner dope dealers to the members of the oppressed lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and transgender communities this class will startle your senses and thrill your heart.
This is a 120 minute, intermediate level lecture.
