Connections: Race and American Culture

We'll talk race and American culture with Gerald Early, a scholar, professor, and a cultural critic. Early will come to Rochester on Thursday to help open the new Humanities Center at the University of Rochester. We'll talk with him about his research and writing, and we'll preview his Thursday presentation, which will center on his research on the African-American community in Philadelphia. Also joining us will be Joan Rubin, history professor and the interim director of the new Humanities Center.
