@theinstitutecp.bsky.social’s Dr Terry Anne Scott will be interviewing Dr Keisha Blain next week for an online book talk: www.eventbrite.com/e/without-fe...
Both historians are dynamic presenters & deeply knowledgeable about American history. It should be a bracing, galvanizing discussion.

Day Two, we sat with students to dive deep into Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail – one of the most important written documents of the Civil Rights Era.
The day ended with pure joy at the street festival, proving that our community’s spirit stays strong even in challenging times.
