“The Past, The Influence, and The Future” Panel discussion @UIW

Various Leaders from the African American community will discuss various issues concerning the black community. Each leader is well respected in the African American community and can speak with passion and conviction about their subject matter. We will examine the past. What are some of the issues of the past that we are still experiencing? We will take an analytical look at some of the circumstances (Ferguson, Baltimore, our school textbooks, just to name a few), that are influencing our communities today and then look at solutions for a brighter future.
