Black History Month Event with Social Action and Awareness Stream

The Social Awareness and Action Stream would like to invite you to the following Black History Month discussion on race and contemporary politics. Co-Moderated by our own Justin Lorts, Faculty Affiliate for the Social Awareness and Action Stream, it promises to be a lively affair. Details are below. We hope to see you there!


Changing America:
Race. Politics. War.
Thursday, February 11 6:30-8:30 PM
The Jerry H. Labowitz Theater for the Performing Arts
1 Washington Pl, Main Floor

The election of Barack Obama is viewed by some as the long-awaited achievement of the Civil Rights Movement, an era where blacks and their white allies engaged in marches, civil disobedience, and other strategies to end discrimination. Others question how much change Obama's presidency represents.

Moderated by Justin T. Lorts (Part-Time Faculty, Gallatin) and George Shulman (Professor, Gallatin)

Panelists include:

Milton Allimadi, Publisher and CEO, Black Star News
Kimberley DaCosta, Assistant Dean of Students and Associate Professor, Gallatin
