Shirley Graham and W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture Series

Each year, the ALST program invites nationally recognized thinkers, activists, and writers to speak on issues of race, oppression, and resistance.

We ask students to attend and challenge them to critically analyze what they hear in relation to what they learn in the classroom.
