Are you interested in learning more about social justice and meeting other university and local community members interested in or engaged in social justice efforts? Join us on UB’s South Campus, North Campus, or virtually to hear from UB Alum and Black Student Union co-founder Gail Wells as she facilitates a discussion about what social justice efforts at UB were like during the late 1960s and early 1970s–what was going on socially and politically at the time, connections with the Black Panther party and the Pan-African movement, and lessons learned that can be applied to the differing circumstances today. Then the second half of the event will give attendees in each location an opportunity to socialize and get to know one another to build stronger community among people interested in social justice. Food and refreshments provided for those attending in person.
