African American Studies 10th Anniversary Speaker Series: Irene Smalls and Vernon Smith

Members of the campus and surrounding communities are encouraged to attend presentations by Irene Smalls and Vernon Smith, trailblazing figures of the 1960s African American Studies movement in higher education. Part of the African American Studies program's 10th Anniversary Speaker Series, each presentation will be moderated by MSU Associate Professor of English and African American Studies Donald Shaffer. A question-and-answer-session will follow both presentations. Smalls, an award-winning author, historian and literacy entrepreneur, will present “(Re)Telling Our Story: Reading and Discussion.” A native of Natchez, Smith will give a presentation titled “On Strike Shut It Down: The 1960s Call for Black Studies.” Click the "Link" below for more information.
