The DeLaney Center, Washington and Lee’s hub for the study of Southern race relations, culture and politics, is inviting the community to start the new school year by meeting its affiliates and hearing about its ongoing work.
“As we commence our fourth season, we will celebrate where our journey has taken us even as we eye exciting future destinations,” said a spokesperson.
Three DeLaney Center campaigns have produced five faculty hires, 12 undergraduate summer internships, 60-plus programs, and hundreds of participants, collaborators, and attendees.
“Maintaining this momentum, our upcoming activities refine core initiatives like the Freedom Ride pre-orientation trip, the D.C. Saturdays civil rights adventures, the Screen to Square film series, and the Race and Southern-ness symposium,” said the spokesperson. “Alongside these established endeavors, we will launch the First Draft research sharing colloquium and the expanded D.C. Leads cohort.
To hear details, the community is encouraged to attend the kickoff event on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 5:30 p.m. in the Watson Pavilion. Refreshments will be served.
Anyone with questions can contact Sandy Sibold at delaneycenter@ wlu.edu.
