Fall Social Justice Series What is the journey from systemic racism to truth and reconciliation?

Systemic racism goes beyond the individual to our community and our country - its centuries of policies and practices that have blocked certain members of society from generational wealth and the “American dream.” Our fall series will bring in civic leaders and social justice experts together to share their perspective on the dynamics of systemic racism and how we can create a pathway to equality and equity, which will result in reconciliation.

Location & Time:
Belk Chapel, Queens University of Charlotte

“A History of the Future” Lunch and Learn with Professor Emeritus Dr. Bob Whalen

A History of the Future. Since today is tomorrow’s yesterday, we are already part of the history that will shape the future. So, what will, might, should tomorrow be like? What do we do, could we do, should we do today to shape tomorrow? What trends are at work today that will produce tomorrow – should we accelerate them? Transform them? We’re already making the future – but what sort of future do we want?

Teaching does not end with retirement and learning does not end with graduation. The Greenspon Center is thrilled offer the lifelong learning course featuring Dr. Robert Whalen. The course will be offered on the first Mondays of each month from October through February.
