September 28, 2015 - Middletown
The Regional Campuses
of Miami University are pleased to announce Dr. Marc Lamont Hill as the keynote
speaker for the thirty-first Racial Legacies and Learning Lecture Series.
The program, titled "Building Community in an Hour of Chaos:
Progress in the Age of Obama," takes place on Monday, September 28 at 7 p.m. in
Miami Middletown's Dave Finkelman Auditorium. A book signing and reception will
follow the lecture.
Dr. Marc Lamont Hill is a professor, author and
cultural critic who offers a candid analysis of the current social and
political moment. By identifying key issues, challenges, controversies and
trends that have emerged or lingered during the "Obama era," Dr. Hill
spot-lights the work that must be done to sustain the progress of the freedom
struggle. Moving beyond mere critique, he also provides concrete solutions as
well as signs of hope and possibility for healing our national, local and university
communities. Dr. Hill is the host of HuffPost Live, BET
News, and a political contributor for CNN.
"The thirty-first Racial Legacies and Learning program
promises to challenge the listener and provoke the audience to take action,"
said Bennyce Hamilton, Miami's Regional Director of Diversity &
Multicultural Services. "Dr. Hill puts race relations front and center
and does not hedge on his stance. His riveting thoughts and engaging demeanor
will certainly leave a lasting impression on all who hear him."
This program is free and open to the public, but tickets are
required. Go to regionals.MiamiOH.edu/rsvp/hill for
