On Wednesday, November 13, 7 p.m., Lithgow Auditorium, Trumbower Hall, Andrew Hacker will present "Why Race Still Matters." This lecture is free and open to the public.
Dr. Hacker, political scientist at Queen's College CUNY, is a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books, The New York Times, Nation Times, and New Republic. His book, "Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal," is a stark and controversial examination of the continuing centrality of race as a determining force in American life. Drawing from the 1990 census, Hacker concludes that blacks and whites continue to lead mostly separate and unequal lives in America.
This event is sponsored by the Public Engagement Project and the office of multicultural life at Muhlenberg College.
