Things Your History Teacher Didn’t Tell You: Blacks In History

Derek Mosley JD, Director of the Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education at Marquette University Law School.   

For many of us, our knowledge of the contributions of African Americans in America is limited. Traditionally, the contributions and stories of people of color in America have been omitted or ignored. During this lecture we will examine the many contributions of African Americans and fully understand that Black History is indeed U.S. History. On this 50 minute journey, you will meet people and hear stories that will amaze and inspire.   Host:  Lorraine Jacobs.

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
