Things Your History Teacher Didn’t Teach You: Blacks in History

We hope you will join us on February 29 for “Things Your History Teacher Didn’t Teach You: Blacks in History.” Derek Mosley, Director of Marquette Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education, will make this special presentation to Marquette University colleagues and members of the larger community.

For many of us, our knowledge of the contributions of African Americans in America is limited. Historically, the contributions and stories of people of color in America have been minimized or ignored in American history textbooks. Director Mosley discusses the many contributions of African Americans, conveying that Black History is indeed U.S. History. On this 60-minute journey, you will meet people and hear stories that will amaze, enlighten, and inspire.

The program will begin promptly at 12:15 p.m. in Eckstein Hall’s Lubar Center. Please register here to attend. A light lunch will be available.
