Join us as we celebrate Juneteenth with a special guest lecture by University of Texas at Austin professor Dr. Peniel Joseph. Dr. Joseph is a leader in the Black Power Studies field and a frequent contributor to CNN, MSNBC, PBS, New York Times, and The Washington Post. He was also recently featured in the buzzworthy Netflix documentary series Who Killed Malcolm X? His latest scholarly investigation is The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. A dual biography that upends longstanding misconceptions that will forever transform our understanding of the twentieth century's most iconic human rights leaders.
