Is free speech and the open exchange of ideas possible amidst the tensions surrounding racial issues on university campuses and in American society at large? This program proposes to bring to campus academics and public intellectuals to engage in frank discussions about the issues of race in America today The goal of this program is to have an honest conversation about race that provides the audience with a range of views on crucial issues, including perspectives that may not have been included in other events or programs on campus.
