Rethinking Race

Rethinking Race: Black, White and Beyond

Rethinking Race's 2015 events

Friday, Jan. 30 to Friday, Feb. 13, 2015

In 1997, United States chose Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ as the location for his first Town Hall Meeting on Race.

Each February, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ provides a forum in which race and race-related issues can be discussed, examined, and hopefully, better understood. The series offers both the University and Northeast Ohio community the opportunity to hear and share a wide variety of viewpoints.

Through films, performances, Face-2-Face Conversations, and keynote speakers, Rethinking Race hopes to engage the public with important topics such as diversity in the workplace and awareness of issues and culture.
