I was just looking at the library website and saw there was a calendar of events for Black History Month. I also discovered there is a panel discussion about violence against women on Feb. 3rd. The blurb describing the event that begins at 6:30 follows:
"Last year, we began a community discussion to address the alarming rate in which women are murdered by men in Louisiana. By popular demand , we will re-visit this discussion with input from a panel of men and women from various social, civic and educational agencies who will give us insight and information on the devastating problem of violence against women. Representatives from 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans, Inc., Black Men United for Change, Justice, and Equity, Inc., St. Augustine High School and New Orleans Municipal Court will be on the panel. The panel will be led by moderator, Warren Bell, Associate Vice Presi-dent of Media and University Services, Xavier University. The program will begin with a dance performance by Kenneth Bryan entitled 'Nature Boy.' "
I know we already have lots of ideas for our class but this could be away to hear multiple speakers in one class period and get for a class so I thought I'd just throw it out there! Here is the link to the website: http://nutrias.org/~nopl/programming/01_11/BHMFINAL2011.pdf
Have a great weekend,
