Join us on Thurs. April 20th, for a student-faculty discussion on identity within the Black Diaspora. The panel will offer and explore different viewpoints on what it means to be Black—both within the United States, in Africa and beyond. Through this event, we hope to challenge conventional ideas surrounding the definition of and ownership of Black culture and identity and foster common ground between members of the Black Diaspora. We welcome all respectful voices who wish to share and listen to different perspectives.
