Parkland College, in collaboration with the University of Illinois,
will host a panel presentation in recognition of the 70th anniversary
of the momentous Brown vs. the Board of Education court ruling
tearing down racist barriers that denied full access to education for all.
Dr. Lorenzo Baber will facilitate as panelists share their experiences
of the impact Brown vs. Board of Education has had on their lives.
This event is part of Parkland College's observation of
Black History Month in February. With the theme "African Americans and Labor,"
the college will explore historical and contemporary
African American accomplishments.
Events are open to the public unless otherwise noted.
This event will be held in the Student Union Cafeteria.
