“Black in the 22nd Century"
Lecture by John Faulkner, the Center’s Community Relations Manager, will discuss the future of black America. Inspired, in part, by the song, “We Shall Overcome,” Faulkner asks the questions: What does victory look like? Is middle class enough? If you know where we’ve been, do you know where we are going? First come, first served.
