The same program will be presented on both nights at the Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee, 2819 W. Highland Boulevard, Milwaukee. Participants are encouraged to sign in between 5:30 and 6 p.m., when the program will begin.
Due to limited space, RSVPS are required. See details below on how to register.
This program is a follow-up to Reggie’s recent lecture series that provided historical context for the present day dilemma facing blacks in America.
Reggie will present a 30-minute recap of the key highlights of his presentations that traced the history of violence against blacks, pseudo-scientific justifications for devaluing blacks, lynchings and race riots, American policing of blacks, scientific /medical experimentation on blacks and the psychological impacts of this devaluation on black lives.
His presentation will be followed by small group discussions and then a large group discussion to enable participants the opportunity to explore these topics through dialogue with each other.
