A special invitation is extended to attend an upcoming lecture at Webster University, St. Louis, MO. On Monday, February 17 at 7:30pm they will welcome recently retired president and CEO of the NAACP, Benjamin Jealous.
Mr. Jealous will visit Webster University to share his lecture, We Got What We Fought For, But We Lost What We Had. From Brown v. Board of Education to mass incarceration, Benjamin Jealous recounts a watershed conversation with his almost century-old grandmother about how young Black Americans came to be the most murdered generation in the country and the most incarcerated generation on the planet. He explains the untold risks in the related trends for all Americans, including the hidden connection between skyrocketing public university tuition and swollen prison populations. In closing, he outlines the way forward toward a less incarcerated, better educated, and more prosperous nation. For more information on Benjamin Jealous, please visit our website http://blogs.webster.edu/mcisa.
