"A Hope in the Unseen, Revisited" Conversation with Ron SuskindThursday, April 16, 2015 5:00pm - 6:30pm
Pembroke Hall, Room 305 Ron Suskind's book, A Hope in the Unseen, has, for two decades, moved many to focus on issues of race and class inequality. The story follows Cedric Jennings, a young black honor student at Washington, D.C.'s Ballou High School, as he manages a bewildering array of intellectual and social challenges during his freshman
year at Brown University. Ron Suskind will join Professor Tricia Rose to revisit the book, its impact and where we are today in creating opportunities for vulnerable communities. They'll also discuss what powerful stories have to do with it. Reception and book signing to follow. Free + open to the public. Wheelchair accessible.
