Come out and participate in this timely and hotly contested topic.

This event is extremely last minute, so for those of you who are interested in the topic but cannot attend, what are your thoughts? What do you believe the meaning of Black History is? What role does gender play in Black history? What does it mean for Black identities to exist in a “post-racial” moment? Is this even possible?
