We know that there’s not much room in anyone’s minds right now for anything other than Homecoming, but please join us this Monday, October 8th at the Hansen Student Center (300 E Beecher St, Bloomington) from 7 PM \u2013 8:30 PM for the rare opportunity to see cartoonist Keith Knight<\/a>\u00a0address the topic of racism in America. Says Prof. Dr. Peter Schneck of Osnabr\u00fcck University, “Keith Knight\u2019s slide show presentations are a poignant and stirring mixture of lecture, activist essay and stand-up comedy. Our students especially appreciated Keith\u2019s entertaining and charismatic delivery that still never lost sight of the seriousness of his material. This show is a must-see for anyone trying to better understand race-relations, police brutality and the cultural climate for African Americans in the United States.”<\/p>\n
