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

Registration is closed, but media are able to attend, with limited video and audio recording availability. Media interested in attending must RSVP to Kevin Conway at kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu. Due to limited space, attendees will not be admitted without registration or media RSVP.

Through public programming such as the Marquette Law School Poll, “On the Issues” conversations with newsmakers, public lectures by leading scholars, conferences on issues of public significance, and the work of its Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education, Marquette Law School seeks to advance civil discourse about law and public policy matters.
