Michele Norris, an award-winning NPR host and journalist is scheduled to speak at MCC’s Brighton Campus on Monday afternoon.
Norris, whose work can be heard on WXXI, is in town to discuss The Race Card Project, a conversation that began on postcards in 2010 and has since spread to social media with tens of thousands of people sharing their candid six-word thoughts about race.
Norris will lead a community dialogue about family legacies and attitudes about race. The event is Monday from Noon to 1:00 p.m. at the Warshof Conference center in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center at MCC. The event is free and open to the public and all attendees at the event will have an opportunity to participate in the project.
A collection of six-word statements about race composed by hundreds of MCC students, faculty and staff since last fall, will be presented to Norris.
WXXI will also be interviewing Norris, and we’ll have coverage on the air at AM 1370 and FM 88.5 during All Things Considered and Morning Edition, and also online at wxxinews.org
