Some view Obama’s election as a permanent break from the racial divisions that have plagued our nation throughout its history. Others believe that as significant as the election may have been, it will not resolve the racial disparities that burden the lives of African Americans and other racial minorities. This day-long symposium will include several panel discussions, and a keynote from 12 -1:30 pm by Jabari Asim, Editor in Chief of Crisis, the magazine of the NAACP, and author of the soon to be released Harper/Collins book What does Obama mean? For more information, please visit www.bams.udel.edu. |
