The University of Delaware's Center for Black Culture and the Black Student Union are sponsoring “Diversity and Democracy,” a lecture and discussion with author and human rights activist Manning Marable at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 15, in the Multipurpose Rooms of the Trabant University Center, Main Street and South College Avenue, on the University of Delaware's Newark campus.

Part of UD's annual “Black History Month Extravaganza,” the lecture will be preceded by a reception and live entertainment at 5 p.m.

Marable has written more than 275 articles and written or edited nearly 20 books and scholarly anthologies, including Living Black History, a look at the legacy of well-known figures from the Civil Rights Movement.
