Lecture #4 - Tues, June 11th 6 pm - How People of Conscience Can Create a Just Society
Throughout history there have always been white people who supported the struggles of African Americans and other marginalized groups to realize America’s promise of liberty and justice for all. This talk introduces us to white people of conscience past and present, providing role models and guidance for those of us who wish to learn from their examples.
