Michele Norris, an award-winning NPR host and journalist has rescheduled her appearance to speak at MCC’s Brighton Campus. It was postponed earlier this month due to a winter storm
Her appearance has been rescheduled for Monday, April 21, as the featured speaker at MCC's annual Alice Holloway Young Power of Diversity Series. The event, which runs from noon to 1 p.m., is free and open to the public.
Norris, whose work can be heard on WXXI, will be 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 at the Warshof Conference center in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center at MCC. 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.
