400 Year Commemoration Lecture Series- Re-imaging
Please join us as we close our Lecture Series with a session on re-imaging a City that is not based on the perpetual harm of not only African Americans, but other people of color as well. It will explore what the future for the next 10, 50, to 400 years look like and the reparative actions that we can take at the individual, communal, institutional and structural levels to get there. This session will be held on September 10, 2019 at City Hall in the rotunda.
