Please join law professor and civil rights activist Ms. Geeta Kapur as she discusses her new book titled “To Drink from the Well: The Struggle for Racial Equality at the Nation's Oldest Public University,” on February 23, at 2:30 p.m.
Kapur provides analysis and commentary on the story of systemic racism in leadership, scholarship and organizational foundations at the University of North Carolina. Kapur explores the Chapel Hill campus and a parallel movement in nearby Durham, where a growing Black middle class helped to create North Carolina Central University, a historically Black public university.
This event will be moderated by Mr. Andre Vann, NCCU coordinator of archives and instructor of public history. This virtual book talk is sponsored by the James E. Shepard Memorial Library’s Authors' Club and the NCCU School of Law Library. For more information, contact Vernice Faison at 919-530- 6220 or email [email protected].
