Addressing Racism Through Story-Telling: June 16 Dinner at 6:00 pm Program at 6:45 pm in Finlator Hall

You are invited to an evening of story-telling with the Rev. James A. Forbes, Jr and his siblings. Rev. Forbes, along with his four siblings, grew up in Raleigh during segregation. At one point, the Forbes Family was voted Raleigh's Family of the Year. Their stories give insight into what Raleigh was like then for African-American families and their experiences in public schools, the neighborhoods they lived in, and the larger Raleigh community. Hearing their stories will offer us an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made when it comes to fighting racism as a city and the work that is still before us. Register here.
