WCC 324 – Somerset

The Black History 101 Mobile Museum, founded by Dr. Khalid el-Hakim, is an award-winning collection of over 10,000 original artifacts of Black memorabilia dating from the trans-Atlantic slave trade era to hip-hop culture. Dr. el-Hakim has been called the “Schomburg of the Hip-Hop generation” because of his passionate commitment to carry on the rich tradition of the Black Museum Movement.

At 1 p.m., Dr. el-Hakim will facilitate a dialogue on the topic of “The Truth Hurts: Black History, Honesty and Healing the Racial Divide,” inviting the audience to look honestly at the history of racism in America.

This event is sponsored by CODA, Black Student Union, and Diversity and Intercultural Center.
