RACE AND PEDAGOGY >>>

The University of Puget Sound, which is gearing up for the Race and Pedagogy National Conference later this week, sent out this press release earlier today. Definitely sad to hear Harry Belafonte wont be coming to town. Let's hope everythign is OK.

Program Change Announcement:
 
Harry Belafonte, scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the kickoff of the University of Puget Sound's 2010 Race and Pedagogy National Conference on Thursday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., has notified the university that he will not be able to appear as planned for medical reasons.
 
The kick-off event for the two-day conference will still take place, featuring performances by The Adelphian Concert Choir and the Jerusalem's Gate singers.  The university is working to secure another key note speaker and expects to make an announcement shortly.
 
Tickets will still be honored for the event, or ticket holders may exchange their tickets for a full refund at the Wheelock Student Center Info Center or by contacting 253.879.3419.
