Students from the UALR Student Services Success Initiatives program will present the “Overground Railroad: A Time Travel Through Black History,” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, in Ledbetter Hall of the Donaghey Student Center.
The event is part of the African American Male Initiative Consortium Conference to be held Thursday and Friday, Feb. 27-28, in the Donaghey Student Center.
Through live interpretations, students will lead the audience through various historical periods stretching back to times prior to the founding of the U.S., through the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights movement to current events.
The UALR Institute on Race and Ethnicity has partnered with SSSI to bring this event to the campus and local community in order to celebrate Black History Month on both a state and national level.
